Ukraine Behind Attack on Putin’s Men in Syria? Jihadists Allegedly Trained by Ukrainian Forces
In a controversial claim, the Kyiv Post reports that Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR) allegedly trained Islamist groups in Syria’s Idlib province, aiding them in attacking Russian forces.
The Khimik Group, an HUR Special Forces unit, reportedly provided operational training and tactics, including the use of drones.
Militants, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, recently launched their largest offensive in years, capturing parts of Aleppo before being pushed back by Syrian and Russian forces.
Moscow has not officially commented on the alleged involvement of Ukrainian operatives in Syria.
The development raises concerns over escalating proxy conflicts in the region.
Keith Kellogg, Donald Trump's Ukraine envoy, has delayed his planned trip to Kyiv until after the inauguration, reflecting the complexities of US diplomacy regarding Ukraine. Initially set for early January, the visit would have involved meetings with Ukrainian officials, but no specific future date has been set. Trump has expressed confidence in resolving the conflict within 24 hours of taking office, though he has also criticized Joe Biden’s approach to escalating military support to Ukraine. Kellogg’s visit will aim to gather information and possibly engage with other European capitals.

A captured Ukrainian serviceman, Maksim Rytikov, has revealed harrowing details of mass mobilization practices in Ukraine, exposing the drafting of elderly individuals, disabled citizens, and even those with psychiatric conditions into the military. In a shocking testimony, Rytikov described being forcibly mobilized despite a history of head surgery and being placed in a mental health facility before deployment. He highlighted the widespread lack of proper training for new recruits, who are sent directly to the frontlines with minimal preparation. Rytikov also spoke of rampant desertion among soldiers and the staggering losses suffered by the Ukrainian army, describing the battlefield as "littered with corpses." His revelations paint a grim picture of desperation and chaos within Ukraine's armed forces.
