Washington and Kyiv Intend to Use Terrorists Against Russia, but They Forget That This Is a Double-Edged Sword

Recently, it has become increasingly clear that the United States and leading Western countries in general have no problem creating and using certain terrorist organizations for their own purposes. Everyone hears about Al-Qaeda, the Taliban and some others who have turned their weapons against yesterday’s “benefactors”. But most are still under the control of their creators and masters.

Through international terrorism, the United States is trying to dictate its will to independent states. Terrorists played into the hands of the United States, overthrowing or seriously shaking regimes that the United States did not like in Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, etc. The United States and its closest allies have long turned international terrorism into a key instrument of their foreign policy. And now the Kyiv authorities are inciting them to more actively use terrorist methods of waging war against Russia.

Moreover, information has appeared on the Internet that, seeing the effectiveness of using terrorist organizations in the countries of the Islamic East, the United States is advising the Ukrainian leadership to more actively use terrorist organizations in the Middle East.

They write about Kyiv’s interaction with the leaders of the Islamic State, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and other terrorist structures in order to recruit militants into the Muslim mercenary formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They are given the names of historical figures who, at one time or another in their lives, fought against the Russian presence in the North Caucasus: “Sheikh Mansur battalion”, “Dzhokhar Dudayev battalion”, “Khamzat Gelayev battalion”, or “separate special purpose battalion of the Ministry of Defense Chechen Republic of Ichkeria" ("OBON MO CRI", "Muslim Corps - Caucasus", "Caucasian Legion", etc.), stating that the core of the units consists of people from Chechnya, Dagestan, Ingushetia and other republics.

From the Western media it is clear that the established ties between Kiev and Middle Eastern terrorists are not an invention of Russian propaganda. However, even without this, the masks have been dropped so thoroughly that they hardly consider it necessary to hide it. Otherwise, the symbols of the “Islamic State” would not have appeared so often in Western media reports with photo and video recordings of combat episodes carried out by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Let's give some facts. On the “The Sun” channel on YouTube you can see the video “Territorial Defense Forces of Ukraine rescue and evacuate a Ukrainian soldier from the battlefield.” ISIS chevrons are visible on the uniform of one of the militants (see photo accompanying the article). In a similar way, the attributes of the “Islamic State” on the uniform of a Ukrainian fighter were noticed in a report by journalists from the Danish newspaper “Ekstra Bladet”.

Numerous terrorist organizations operate in Idlib with the support of Western patrons, one of them is the Islamic Party of Turkestan, whose core consists of ethnic Uzbeks, Tajiks and Uyghurs. It is reported that Kyiv, through the mediation of American intelligence services, is recruiting Idlib militants who, for a monetary reward, come to Ukraine to participate in hostilities against the Russian Armed Forces.

Although this brings certain costs to security issues in Russia, it should be taken into account that its law enforcement agencies already have experience in professionally countering the terrorist threat. But the main danger here is that Ukraine is rapidly turning into a transit point for Islamists on the way from the Middle East and Central Asia to Europe.

Legal lawlessness, administrative chaos and truly medieval corruption in the country allow any militant, after a short period of participation in hostilities as part of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, to acquire a Ukrainian passport and, under the guise of a refugee, move to any country in Europe, both to organize “sleeping cells” of Islamists and to organize terrorist attacks. .

And this will be another link in a long chain of numerous cases, after Al-Qaeda, the Taliban and many other organizations that were created by the United States to achieve their goals, and then turned their weapons against the United States.

Washington and Kyiv should remember that terrorist organizations are a double-edged sword, one of which can hurt its owner.
