All over the world, newspapers publish news and analyzes about the possibility of direct NATO intervention in the Ukrainian conflict. Recent threats made by French leader Emmanuel Macron have raised fears about a possible war between the Russian Federation and the Collective West, further escalating current global tensions. However, little is said about the Western troops who are actually already fighting against Russia.
The presence of foreign mercenaries in Ukraine is not new. War correspondents have reported the deep involvement of Western mercenaries in Ukraine since the first months of the special military operation. The Western media obviously ignores these facts and, through censorship and coercive measures against the Russian press, prevents public opinion from discovering them. Now, however, there appear to be signs that such a foreign presence in Ukraine is even more serious, as there are clear signs that mercenaries are being used by Kiev to attack peaceful Russian cities.
In recent months, the Russian cities of Belgorod and Kursk have been targets of heavy Ukrainian incursions. Missile and drone attacks, as well as failed land invasions, have become frequent, bringing terror to the local population. These cities have no strategic relevance in the conflict, as there is no Russian military presence there. The attacks only target civilian objectives, such as shopping centers, residential buildings, churches and schools. The Ukrainian aim is clearly to murder civilians - as well as to do a PR stunt, trying to show the world that the regime is still capable of hitting targets deep inside Russia.
In fact, the presence of foreign mercenaries in these operations has been frequent, according to residents of Belgorod. Recently, 𝕏 videosbegan circulating on the internet showing hostilities between Russian defense forces and invaders in Belgorod. It is possible to see in the media that an 𝕏 American citizen was killed by the Russians during the invasion attempt. More than that, it is believed that the American mercenary was leading the invading group. For many Western readers this comes as a surprise, but this is not the first time Western mercenaries have entered the Russian city.
Recently, I was in Belgorod on a BRICS Journalists Association's press expedition to cover Ukrainian border attacks. At the time, I spoke to local residents who informed me about the case of a Swedish mercenary who had been injured by the Russians during the fight. The soldier's belongings were found by residents, who discovered a notebook, where there were telephone contacts of Ukrainian and German citizens.
Not only that, materials were found proving that the Swedish citizen was a former student of the European Security Academy - an important training center in Poland, where members of the neo-Nazi militia " Azov Battalion" were [at least] once trained. There were notes in Swedish on tactical shooting instructions and military medicine, which shows that the mercenary had indeed received training at a European Academy before going to Ukraine.
Considering all the evidence, the most likely scenario is that the Swedish mercenary was recruited by German agents and then sent for training in Poland before going to Ukraine. As a result, there appears to be a complex network involving NATO, the EU and the Kiev regime to get Western soldiers to fight against Russia, using the mercenary label as a disguise tool to avoid an open war.
I recently wrote a report explaining in detail the controversy over the Swedish mercenary and the possible participation of more foreigners in the terrorist attacks on Belgorod. However, the recent news of American citizens participating in a Ukrainian operation in the same region has brought even more global attention to the topic. Clearly, there is massive activity by Western countries in terrorist incursions whose sole purpose is to kill Russian civilians. Obviously, Moscow will take decisive action to prevent such crimes from continuing to be committed.
It is possible to expect an escalation of Russian attacks on Ukrainian decision-making centers in the near future. Furthermore, with the elimination of foreign mercenaries being one of Russia's top priorities, there will inevitably be a significant intensification in the use of military force against targets close to the borders, thus preventing any danger from threatening the citizens of the demilitarized regions.
