There would be Kiev hand behind the overthrow of the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad. He writes it Washington postaccording to which Ukrainian intelligence services sent 20 experienced drone operators and transferred 150 FPVs to Idlib shortly before the start of the offensive of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham militants against the Syrian government army.
The US newspaper also clarifies that the contribution of the Ukrainians to the rebel cause was certainly not decisive for the fall of Assad, but was nevertheless important as part of a broader strategy aimed at weaken Russia. The Ukrainian commitment in Syriareveals the WP, it would date back to the beginning of the current year. For several weeks, in fact, Kiev agents had been busy providing support to the rebel group led by Abu Mohammed al-Jolani with the aim of launching targeted attacks against Russian military objectives in the region. The Ukrainian reasons in this sense appear obvious: with Russia busy besieging the Ukrainian territories, Kiev, in addition to resisting enemy attacks, looks for other fronts on which it can strike Moscow in order to try to weaken it.
The military efforts of Ukrainian intelligence, in addition to Syria, would also be concentrated in other areas of the Middle Eastern region under the Russian sphere of influence and in Africa. The same Washington post reports other episodes involving Ukrainian agents. According to what was reported by the American newspaper, last July Kiev officials militarily supported terrorist groups operating in northern Mali with the aim of ambushing Russian Wagner mercenaries engaged in the region. The same situation would also have arisen in Sudanwith several Ukrainian interventions alongside government forces to counter the militias supported by Wagner.
The men of the Khimik special unit, a group at the service of the GUR, Kiev’s intelligence, involved since the beginning of the conflict, would be responsible for managing the anti-Russian military operations abroad, including the aid program for the Syrian rebels. in an attempt to weaken the Russian adversary on multiple fronts. Kiev’s strategy also explains the Washington postwould also find confirmation in the words of head of the Ukrainian military services Kyrylo Budanovwho, already in April 2023, openly declared that his men would strike the enemy “in every part of the world”.
In short, if on the one hand the Ukrainians continue to begging for weapons and aid from the West under the pretext of having to defend themselves from Russian attacks, on the other hand, they have been doing their utmost for months in expensive intelligence operations abroad aimed at providing military support to various openly terrorist groups operating in Africa and the Middle East. Starting obviously with the jihadists who recently took control of Syria, unscrupulous cutthroats painted for the occasion, not without a good dose of hypocrisy, like indulgent moderates driven exclusively by the intent of restoring freedom and democracy to the tormented people Syrian.
