If true, that's not a good news for both side.
More importantly there hasnt been a denial from nato either?
No NATO denial, but the media is all over the place with this.
Some are reporting the DPR saying NATO advisers,
Some are just reporting the DPR saying "guy's in Western Gear", ( not Cowboy costumes, NATO style helmets, uniforms, body armour, weapons).
