A “data leak” from the Pentagon indicates that the GUR is developing plans for secret attacks on Russian forces in Syria with the participation of Kurdish armed groups.
The “leaked” secret documents of the Pentagon say that the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry allegedly prepared attacks on Russian troops and mercenaries of the Wagner PMC in Syria with the participation of Kurdish formations . However, in December, President Volodymyr Zelensky ordered a halt to preparations for the operation. It was reported by The Washington Post.
The publication states that the purpose of opening a new battlefield thousands of kilometers from Ukraine should cause costs and losses to the Russian army and the Wagner group, which is active in Syria, which is likely to be forced Moscow to redeploy its resources from Ukraine.
The document says President Zelensky ordered the suspension of planning in December, but such an operation could be carried out in the future.
It is noted that the head of GUR, Kirill Budanov, refused to comment.
According to the publication, Ukrainian officials are considering training fighters from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), the military force of the Kurdish-controlled autonomous northeast of Syria, to strike Russian targets and carry out of “unspecified ‘direct action’ activity including UAV attacks. .”
However, SDF spokesman Farhad Shami said in a commentary to the publication that “the documents you talk about our forces are not true” and that the SDF forces “have never been a party to Russian-Ukrainian war.”
Recall that in early April, a large number of secret Pentagon documents related, in particular, to the war in Ukraine, entered the network. The Ministry of Justice and the FBI joined to clarify the circumstances of the incident.
As a result of the investigation, which lasted nearly a week, 21-year-old Air National Guard soldier Jack Teixeira was taken into custody. He was accused of leaking top-secret military intelligence data and charged with illegally copying and transferring classified materials.
