Moscow, Dec.23 (Interfax) - The Georgian aggression against South Ossetia actively involved foreign mercenaries, including militants from the Ukrainian nationalist organization UNA-UNSO (Ukrainian National Assembly - Ukrainian National Self-Defense), said Russian Prosecutor's Office Investigative Committee (POIC) chief Alexander Bastrykin. "The inquest has gathered evidence of the participation of UNA-UNSO members on the side of the Georgian army. Moreover, Georgian prisoners of war testified that mercenaries from the United States, the Czech Republic and Turkey were also involved in combat operations," Bastrykin told a press conference in Moscow on Tuesday.

In particular, this is shown by the UNA-UNSO military gear, literature and other propaganda materials of this organization, found in a Georgian enclave in South Ossetia, he said.

"We have found an order by the Georgian enclave commander to provide a car for UNA-UNSO militant squad commander Kucherenko," the POIC chief said.

Such accusations would be more credible if they came from an international investigation. Say, the OSCE. Oh wait, Russia is kicking them out of the area as quickly as diplomatically possible.

I can't believe that the idiots in roosha actually expect someone to fall for their sovok muddle-headed drivel.

Roosha's line is:

"help, help, roosha has just invaded a country, under the pretense of "protection," and people from other countries have dared to oppose us - help, help"

Stupid moron rooskies.

You really believe that OSCE doing a good job. They doing what somebody tell them to do. Thanks to MOTHER-RUSSIA for waking up. Ukraine has to thanks Americans for not having working government for so long. The bigger mess in the country the more Americans happy. You Ukranians like a newborn, you need to suck on something from Russia is cheap gas, from Americans is a BS. Thanks Russia. Thanks Putin for restoring Russia.
