Of money and soldiers

Vladimir Putin: If there are Russian citizens there, they do not represent the interests of the Russian state and do not receive money from the Russian state. In general, in the conflict zone there are a lot of all kinds of mercenaries, including, according to our data, a significant number of mercenaries have been transferred from the Idlib zone of Syria to the conflict zone in Libya. This is a very dangerous process. Mr. Erdogan and I also spoke about this yesterday. We hope that after our agreement, we proceed from the fact that they will be executed and the conflicting parties in Syria, the hostilities will stop. At the same time, the transfer to Libya of additional contingents of mercenaries, including from the Syrian Arab Republic, will also cease.

The US officials voiced the Administration's serious concern about toxic foreign interference in the conflict and reaffirmed the United States' full support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Libya. The deployment of Russian mercenaries fighting on behalf of the Libyan National Army and Turkish-supported Syrian fighters allied with the Government of National Accord have significantly degraded security, to the detriment of all Libyans. Attacks in recent days against Tripoli's Mitiga Airport and indiscriminate shelling of residential neighborhoods in the capital are contributing to civilian casualties and worsening the humanitarian emergency in Tripoli. All responsible Libyan parties should end this dangerous escalation and reject the destructive involvement by foreign forces. ....

We're sending more to Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabia's paying us for it. We're doing something that nobody's ever done. I said to Saudi Arabia -- we have a very good relationship with Saudi Arabia. I said listen, you're a very rich country. You want more troops, I'm going to send them to you but you've got to pay us. They're paying us. They've already deposited $1 billion in the bank. We are going to help them but these rich countries have to pay for it. 
South Korea gave us $500 million. They've never gave us -- they gave us $500 million. I said you got to help us along. We have 32,000 soldiers in South Korea protecting it from North Korea. You've got to pay. And they gave us $500 million. I said look, we're protecting you, you got to pay. 
They paid us $500 million. They're going to pay us a lot more.
