RT reports on an Aug. 16 article in The Times of London revealing further Western involvement in Kiev’s preparations for the attack into Russia’s Kursk region. The Times reported that, “a month before they were dispatched into Kursk, some of the units were sent to England where they underwent a few days of training alongside British soldiers.” The major focus of this training course was “raids on high-rise buildings,” it revealed.
Another indication of this was that given by Mykhailo Podolyak, the top adviser to Zelenskyy, who claimed earlier this week that “there were discussions between partner forces, just not on the public level,” of the attack on Russian territory, according to RT.
This was also evidenced by a video posted by the Russian Defense Ministry of an interview with a Ukrainian POW who said that the operation was planned with support of Western instructors. “They were the ones responsible for the operation. I met them on the battlefield,” he said. “They spoke foreign languages.”
This fact has been claimed by many Russian officials over the previous week, and denied emphatically by Western governments. But if true, the implications indicate a very dangerous provocation that goes far beyond Ukraine.
