CAIRO (Reuters) – Lebanon’s Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Friday denied reports about sending fighters and experts to fight alongside Russia in Ukraine, Lebanese Al Mayadeen TV reported.
“No one from Hezbollah, neither a fighter nor an expert, went to this arena or any of the arenas of these wars,” Beirut-based Al Mayadeen TV quoted him as saying.
Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave the green light for up to 16,000 volunteers from the Middle East to be deployed alongside Russian-backed rebels to fight in Ukraine.
