At least 87 terrorists had left the northwestern Syrian region of Greater Idlib to go fight against the Russian military in Ukraine, Sputnik reported on March 30.
Sources familiar with the matter told the Russian news agency, that the terrorists, mostly Iraqis, French, Tunisians and Chechens from al-Qaeda-affiliated Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), Horas al-Din and Ansar al-Tawhid, departed Greater Idlib on March 26.
According to the sources, the terrorists, who are highly experienced in guerrilla warfare, were all members of ISIS before joining their new factions.
HTS, the de-facto ruler of Greater Idlib, moved the terrorists to the town of Saramada, which is located on the Syrian-Turkish border, on March 24 and 25. The terrorists then entered Turkey, and from there they were transported to Ukraine.
Abu Mohammed al-Julani, leader of HTS, played a key role in encouraging foreign terrorists to go fight in Ukraine, where the Russian military is currently carrying out a special operation. During a series of meetings in one of Idlib city mosques, the leader insisted that only foreign terrorists could travel while Syrians must remain in their country.
“Al-Julani personally pledged, during those meetings, to fully secure the needs of the families of the terrorists until their return from Ukraine,” Sputnik quoted its sources as saying.
The information revealed by Sputnik was not a surprise. A recent report exposed a plan by the Turkish intelligence and HTS to recruit terrorists from Greater Idlib to fight against the Russian military in Ukraine.
HTS’s attempts to funnel terrorists to Ukraine could provoke a very serious response from Russia, who maintains a large and capable force in Syria.
Snack Bar Monkey Sand
Actually, if this is true then most will end up in Germany, France and UK. These Wahhabi terrorists are only interested in moving to Europe and Ukraine is a good stepping stone and source of CIA money.
More CIA trained proxies…man the situation must be dire if those are being pulled to fight Russia.
Russia needs to step up their thermal game, as well as update a lot of technology to be more combat viable versus foot combatants in urban areas.
Check the canalisation networks, set traps the lot.
Hope Russia comes out on top of this, seems everything is thrown at them.
Assad trained proxies? you’re fucking kidding aren’t you? If not, you’re a fuckwit.
He is a fuckwit.
My passing is a global source of amusement.
I can only see that statement as Sputnik try to make symphaty for Putin.
Ukras are doing very well. They have made very long frontzones. Those are impossible to cover by equipment and soldiers.
Russians has to be brianwashed to fight well in urban warfare. You cant just. They has some but those are not there.
The whole Russian way´in structurre is not to urban warfare. Thats why they bombarde anything of importance and make besieges.
It more to me as if the Oligarcs has taken all the money from almost any improvement.
But as Dane I am so happy. Troops likethat will never reach Denmark. We can use Our Leopards for refugees from there. It only need a boiler for coffee and tea.
Can you elaborate on your argument, as from a tactical perspective its hard to follow – you are suggesting that a nazi terrorrist killed by a building squashing his head is a less effective way of killing a Nazi terrorist than by a bullet?
These are all controlled very directly by Turkey, mind you. The same Erdogan Turkey that was for some time at apparent odds with the USA and in apparent good terms with Russia.
What Russia needs to step up is the Intelligence game, a field in which the USA is clearly superior, we like it or rather not.
These men are going to teach Ukrainians the middle eastern guerilla taktics
It did work really well in Syria. Oh wait it didn’t.
Idlib can beat Moscow
In Disney movies they sure can.
People like you should be in Ukraine, the fuk you doing? Talk the talk, walk the walk bitch, or just STFU you Zion pig.
You has to add: For its seize.
You can see the YPG almost was PKK. They were tained guerillas very good in ambush and camouflage. But their many small units were added communication and enough light weapons.
As long as those were alive it was a hard header. Now many of those are dead but in an honerable way. The replacers are more ordinary ones and some are even forced conscripts.
ISIS was an exelent force but also a mix of heavy armed with a lot of equipment. Now they almost only has light armes veterans. They still are verygood for their seize.
You have to see the losses.
Same talking points, same logical fallacies. There is no evidence whatsoever beyond US/Ukrotard propaganda talking points, that Russia tried to take any major cities. So far, the invasion seems to be quite successful given that there is no capacity in the Ukrainian military to counter-attack. The Russians are never going to allow the Ukrainian state to control Donbass nor Crimea again.
Ukraine doesn’t seem to do quite good. Ukraine seems to have destroyed itself by implementing US policy directed at Russia. But you Banderpite cunts have no interest in facts or dialogue, you just want to use comment boards like this to peddle your fuckpile Ukrotard propaganda. You’re completely uncivilized.
Russia is grinding down the UAF and military infrastructure. Cities are secondary objectives.
Can you imagine the stench from the rancid Nazi taco meat in Mariupol if the operation had been carried out in summer? How many thousand psychotic fascists bit the dust in that death-cult cauldron so far?
“middle eastern guerilla taktics” Do you mean Zion, British, yaquis, and Wahhabi’s tactics? They have been training for 8 years buddy get your head out of your ass.
So funny, when Syrians join Ukrainian side they are terrorist but when Syrians join Russian side they are volunteers.
Indeed. That simple. Good vs evil. Hohol nazis vs Russia. Isis vs SAA.
What are you mumbling about?
These “monsieurs” are not Russian affiliate in Syria but attached to “al-Qaeda-affiliated Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), Horas al-Din and Ansar al-Tawhid” therefore perfectly are qualified to be called as terrorist by nearly all the pays in the world, perhaps except for Turkey and Ukraine, therefore they have nothing to do with Russia. It seems to me that you are from the same crowd/(age group) like “Vlad the invader “, go on play with him/her. You are really waste of time therefore I will not bother to explain to you your contradictions in your comments from now.
You will explain nothing because russian propaganda don’t work with me like western propaganda. If I’m here in Southfront is just for watching the Russian propaganda and It’s very funny. Of course Southfront will not say Russia taken some fighters from PKK/YPG from Syria and armenia to fight with Russia in Ukraine, no they are just ” volunteer” from Syria lol. It say Turkey transported some HTS in Ukraine etc … Where is the proof ? Photo video documents etc etc ? Absolutely nothing. When I don’t have proof, I call this speculation. So this article is a speculation.
Thats right. Badurov from Grosny was not in ukraine as told. He was 1200 km away photoshooting in front of old warpictures.
Someone here actually has proposed SAA elites(the mijavs) as reinforcements in Ukraine.
Thats how it is. I name all as soldiers even if they only has a fork.
Perhaps “soldier of fortune” would be more accurate description.
These are not even Syrians, they are Turkish mercenaries from all over the world.
Yes HTS are terrorists, how fucking stupid are you.
I know HTS are terrorist but PKK/YPG are terrorist too and Russia use them
Russian and Iranian and hezbolock gangs They are terrorists to maggot….H.T.S r Syrian mujahideen fighters for freedom. From butcher assad
Indeed, their balls are big.
Can you read? These are pro Kiev trolls.
Wow, a whole 87. Kiev won another 3hours with them. Slow clap.
3 hours of what? Russia is retreating.
Another Ukrotard propagnda trope for a username, and more Ukrotard talking points. Great job.
No, just commenting on yet another useless fuckpile Ukrotard troll adopting a propaganda trope for a username. Another instance of the same pathetic Banderpite phenomonon, and so the same comment.
I don’t have a propaganda narrative. I just find Ukrotard trolls highly offensive.
Keep saying that if it makes you feel better. You fuckwits have lost in Ukraine. Your right wing meatheads didn’t last long. They have now resorted to clingfilming women to lamposts.
This is just the start of it. The west is truly fucked. Their economies are toast and so will their currency. The western media is full tilt lying to their viewers and even that isn’t enough.
The current batch of western baby killers are now on borrowed time. If President Putin doesn’t get them, the people will.
Where? More wishful thinking? Even UAF leadership is on a different opinion as you.
sodomized by taliban you retreat to lgbt bar in alabama ukrops defeated–amerikant humiliated
So, advance re-supply and study the skies.
Hope they bring their own bodybags. And dont send them back.
They put lil green inside
The few shekels they got from kiev. Good for them.
amerikant lose all wars—driven out of Iraq after murdering 1.8 million—immoral nazis
Terrorists calling other people terrorists lol
A pathetic simp calling other people simps lol
They need to justify defeat: it was the boogeyman from Syria who ate lil greens in Ukraine
Another propaganda trope for a username. You Ukrotard fuckpiles are truly lame.
US couldn’t secure Baghdad in 10years. What will you trolls do when Ukraine finally falls? Hope you have an alternative burger flipper job…
Vlad does not read very well, but our Chechen friends look forward to greeting them… it will be a 1 way trip
ISIS should feel right at home together with Ukrop goblin terrorists.
Russia really needs to make Constantinople a christian city again. But, as part of NATO, that won’t happen.
Wailing Ukrobot trolls. Donbass will never be under Ukrainian control again, nor will Crimea. The Ukraine is the poorest country in Europe, and corrupt in a low-grade, developing world manner that exceeds even the American and European corporate scammers. There is literally no win for the Ukrainian people available now. If fighting really stops, the country is economically devastated and there is no money in the US nor Europe to finance any kind of restoration. If the IMF does ensnare the Ukrainains in an even bigger debt trap, it will reduce their standards of living to further below that of sub-Saharan Africans. If fighting doesn’t stop, nobody is going to lend them money while a prolonged insurgency is underway on their territory. It really is all over.
Ukrainians must be feeling like donkeys about now. Not only did they follow the carrot of EU membership but then they followed the carrot of nato membership. The USadmin, the EU, nato, all had a go holding the stick.
Rump Ukraine will be safer.
source? trust me bro ? another creepy russian propaganda. You cant win in ukraine then you need to spread around BS
Russia couldn’t win in Georgia, Syria, Iraq either. Oh wait… They did. Same western whining same outcome every time. Oy gevalt.
nazi schizophrenia must be painful—jenshans
Yet Putin sitting together with Turkey as a peacemaker? Wtf?
Its so funny. Turks will pay Russians with liras.
Sputnik is a Russian propganda site. And behind enemy lines :)
Going to Ukraine? Good! Quicker way to kill them. As they say… sometimes the trash takes itself out.
Do not worry Ukraine. mujahideen on the way ..💪
Erdowi, Erdowho, Erdogan…
Your nice Turkish friend, Mr. Putin. Long live multipolarity? There’s only bipolarity ultimately in big mafia wars like these.
Brilliant, they weaken their efforts in Syria and provide some target practice for Russia in a theater they have very little local knowledge of. They will move from Darwin Award contenders, to Darwin Award winners!
If terrorists left Idlib, then it is time to clean it.
Yes, go and die there you fucks.
After Ukraine is cleared Russia must step up in Syria. Demand Turkey to get out.
