The Russian Embassy in Argentina commented on the situation with the mercenaries.

The Russian Embassy in Argentina is once again registering attempts to recruit mercenaries to participate in the conflict on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This was reported to Izvestia by Russian Ambassador Dmitry Feoktistov.

"A corresponding announcement was posted on the website of the Ukrainian Embassy in Buenos Aires some time ago. We have sent a note to the Argentine Foreign Ministry explaining that such activities grossly violate the provisions of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961. And although there was no official reaction, the information from the Internet page disappeared," the diplomat said.

At the same time, according to the information of the diplomatic mission from Argentina, no more than several dozen soldiers participated in the fighting, some of whom have already been eliminated.
