Ukraine sent special forces to Syria to attack Russians there, revealing a new front to the war: report
Ukrainian special forces are attacking Russian mercenaries and positions in Syria, according to the Kyiv Post, fighting alongside rebel forces.
Russia is sending Mercs across the whole of Africa to saw at the legs of France's empire. One of the big reasons Macron seems miffed.
Ukraine has been doing the same. Small teams across the globe that mess with Russian interests where they are vulnerable.
The Russian propaganda engine has been working in Africa for a while now. They get the chaos to distract other countries from Ukraine and fresh mercs to send against Ukraine as well. (I am not sure how many Africans they have imported for the war in Ukraine, actually. It could be hundreds or dozens, I dunno.)
The US operates conditionally in Syria right? So these Ukrainians have better backup and Intel?
Good question. I would guess yes, but I actually have no clue lol
Interesting tactic... I hope this doesn't turn into the Pebbleyeet tug-o-war meme.
Sadly I think it's gonna be more like the Latvian potato meme.
Nice outside the box thinking.
Ukrainian SOF has done the same in Africa for a while now
How does this help in the defense of Ukraine?
Kill russians in Syria -> russia has to send more russians to Syria -> less russians available to send to Ukraine.
I guess russian military personnel abroad isn't cannon fodder, because for obvious reasons, they are not as easy to replace as the meat waves in their border. So, maybe russia is being forced to send actual soldiers abroad and leave just the untrained ones in ukraine
not news. propaganda
