“Mercenaries from Kosovo and Albania in Ukraine”, Majko denies Lavrov’s statement

Former Minister of Defense of the Republic of Albania, Pandeli Majko, reacted after the statement of the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, who said that mercenaries from Albania and Kosovo are being sent to the Donbas area in Ukraine to bring out Russia’s  balance.

Majko did this through a post on “Facebook”, where he described this statement as unprecedented.

He also published a news item that defines the national affiliations of the volunteers who went to help Ukraine, of which neither Albania nor Kosovo is a part.

“Sergei Lavrov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation has made today an unprecedented statement about Albanian “mercenaries” from Albania and Kosovo who are being sent to the Donbas area in Ukraine. “Before the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Tirana gives explanations (if it will)… Indian WION TV Channel has made a special chronicle about the” map “of the national affiliation of volunteers who have gone to help Ukraine”, Majko wrote .

At a joint press conference with Greek Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov said mercenaries from the Balkans had been sent to the region.
“Kosovo and some other parts of the Western Balkans are becoming a fertile ground for crime. There are terrorists, drug dealers. It is a recruiting ground for mercenaries involved in conflicts that are gradually escalating, including the United States. There are reports that mercenaries are being recruited in Kosovo, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and are being sent to Donbass, among others, to lower Russia. We are reviewing this information,” said the Russian Foreign Minister.
