Members of Ukrainian volunteer battalion “Azov” made a mock of Russian propaganda and its main mouthpiece Dmitry Kiselyov that keeps saying there are American mercenaries in Donbas.
Ukrainian soldiers made a video address to Kiselyov, saying they are Ashton Kutcher and Thomas Miller, who came to Ukraine to fight as Azov battalion volunteers.
The video also shows US flag the stars raised in Shyrokyne.
“No Russia, no vodka, only Coca-Cola, only Barack Obama”, the “Americans” told in their video address.
