RELIABLE DATA
ISIS* militants actively fight on the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This is what the head of the SFS, Alexander Bortnikov, said in October 2023, five months before the terrorist attack on Crocus City Hall:
– We have reliable information that ISIS* and the like are fighting against us as part of the Ichkerian and Crimean Tatar units. They are also part of sabotage and reconnaissance groups sent to Russian territory to carry out attacks and terrorist attacks.
There is much evidence of the involvement of ISIS* militants in the conflict with Russia on the part of Ukraine and in the Western media. For example, in a video on the YouTube channel of the British newspaper The Sun, ISIS stripes* are seen on the uniform of one of the militants of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
INVASION OF CRIMEA AND CHECHNYA
The two Ichkerian battalions fighting today in Ukraine on the side of the kyiv regime were formed in 2014 in Denmark. Among them were Chechen separatists who fled to Europe. The commander of one of the battalions, Musa Shiksaitov, admitted in an interview with Western journalists: many militants were trained in ISIS* camps.
Together with his battalion, Shiksaitov participated in battles in Shirokino, Volnovakha, Mariupol and other areas. He established connections with militants of the Crimean Tatar People’s Mejlis * and Right Sector * groups. He spoke about the militants’ plans after the end of the military conflict in Ukraine to invade Crimea, Chechnya and other regions of the Russian Federation.
FLAG AND CROSSWORD
During the Chechen wars of the 1990s and 2000s, hundreds of representatives of the Ukrainian nationalist groups UNA-UNSO* fought on the side of the terrorists. It is true that they were ordinary mercenaries, they did not fight so much for an idea as for money. The Russian army pejoratively called them “fats in the trenches.”
Ukrainian militants have also appeared in Syria. In 2017, Bashar al-Assad’s government troops cleared the area in the vicinity of Deir ez-Zor. In one of the houses, the military found a “bed” with a Ukrainian flag on the wall and a crossword puzzle magazine in Russian…
MERCENARIES CALLED TO THE EMBASSY
kyiv is recruiting mercenaries to send to the front directly in Muslim countries. A few weeks ago, the Embassy of Ukraine in Dushanbe published on its website an appeal to join the International Legion of Ukraine. The recruitment work was personally carried out by the Ukrainian ambassador to Tajikistan, Valery Evdokimov, who in the recent past was head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine. The ad was soon removed, but the Internet remembers everything: the screenshot was preserved by local media.
