Birds of a feather: how are HTS terrorists in Syria linked to the Ukrainian regime?

Hayat Tahir al-Sham (HTS), known until 2016 as the al-Qaeda-linked Jabhat al-Nusra, has managed to seize Aleppo due to the support of Ukrainian advisers, a source close to the Syrian special services told Sputnik.

What's known about HTS cooperation with the Kiev regime?

🌏 In mid-September, a Syrian source revealed to Sputnik that HTS terrorists in Idlib had received components for hundreds of drones disguised as civilian goods from the Ukrainian military.

🌏 The source noted that Ukrainian instructors had arrived in Idlib to train the terrorists to produce, modernize and use the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).

🌏 The Syrian newspaper Al Watan and the Turkish newspaper Aydinlik reported the same month that Kyrylo Budanov, the chief of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (GUR), had been in contact with the head of HTS Abu Mohammad al-Julani, attempting to recruit fighters for joint operations against Russia.

🌏 Abu Mohammad al-Julani fought for al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) – a terror organization ISIS emerged from - and founded Jabhat al-Nusra, the al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria.

🌏 Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova drew attention to Ukraine-HTS cooperation on September 20: the Kiev regime "has long been betting on terrorism, threatening the entire world with unpredictable and extremely dangerous consequences," she said.

🌏 On December 1, the Ukrainian press reported that HTS "had received operational training from special forces troops from the Khimik group of Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate"

🌏 In 2023 the Russian Investigative Committee indicted Budanov of committing over 100 acts of terrorism on the territory of Russia.
