The Youtube video shows one masked man, dressed in army fatigues, claiming: “We have fought Poles, Czechs and Dutch. In Sievierodonetsk (in the eastern Luhansk region] there are apparently 800 Poles”.
One rebel also claimed that foreign military equipment, including Apache helicopters, Abrams tanks and hummer jeeps, which are not possessed by the Ukraine military, are also in operation in eastern Ukraine.
The Polish foreign ministry has rejected previous claims that Poles are involved in the fighting. (pg)
