CONCERNS have been raised after a group of foreign mercenaries posing as humanitarian workers claimed to have destroyed a Russian tank in Ukraine with a US-supplied javelin missile. 

French national Maxime Barrat and former British paratrooper Daniel Burke were part of a group that filmed the attack, which is believed to have taken place on Tuesday. 

Footage published by the International Volunteers Report showed what it described as “foreign volunteers of the Dark Angel unit” striking a Russian tank in Mikolaiv “with US-supplied javelin missile.”
