West Experiences Blowback From Fostering Fascists In Ukraine
At the start of the Special Military Operation in February 2022 I warned of the blowback that, I asserted, would likely come if the West continued to pamper Nazi groups in Ukraine:
The U.S. aim is to create an insurgency in the Ukraine.

Russia’s Invasion Could Unleash Forces the Kremlin Can’t Control
Since 2015 the CIA has trained Ukrainian groups for exactly that purpose.

CIA support for Ukrainian Nazis has a long history.
Op-Ed: The CIA has backed Ukrainian insurgents before. Let’s learn from those mistakes – LA Times
A new Nazi insurgency in eastern Europe is an exceptionally bad idea. Fascist groups from everywhere would join in. A few years from now it may well lead to Nazi terror in many European countries. Have we learned really nothing from the war on Syria and the ISIS campaign?
Me and Ivan Katchanovski were probably the only ones who had warned of this:
Katchanovski adds that, “This is also going to have a dangerous effect on Ukraine and potentially other countries because now, basically, Nazis in Ukraine are made into national heroes.” He also noted that Azov (as well as Western governments) has consistently pressured Zelensky — including with threats, and even before Russia invaded — not to seek a peace deal with Russia or withdraw forces from the Donbas region. In February, Azov branded Zelensky a “servant of the Russian people” after he suggested that he might negotiate with Moscow.
Katchanovski said that the valorization of the Azov Regiment is comparable to how the West initially supported the predecessors of the Taliban in their fight against the Soviet Union’s intervention in the war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, and also risks inspiring yet more far-right activists from other countries to join the conflict in Ukraine in order to gain military experience, potentially causing a blowback effect if they make it home.
Yesterday one avid U.S. supporter of the fascists in Ukraine tried to assassinate the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump:

Routh, himself being too old to fight, had tried to hire foreign mercenaries to fight on the fascist side in Ukraine. He obviously targeted Trump because he had promised to dictate an end to the war in Ukraine.
Was Routh more than a lone wolf in this?

We know little so far, but w alleged Trump shooter's personal and public participation in military activity in Ukraine, it is hard to imagine this White House's agencies can claim zero contact—"clean hands." Something of an Oswald vibe, here. Congress should get answers.

As more people start to think about potential ways to end the war in Ukraine the far-right in Ukraine is threatening to use violence to prevent that:

⚡️🇺🇦Ukraine's most feared drone warlord threatens Zelensky:
A serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the call sign "Madyar" openly and "without drama" threatens the Ukrainian government.
According to him, if someone negotiates with the Russian Federation "not in the interests of the Ukrainian people", then a million fighters will return from the front and overthrow such a government.

The Washington Post tries to explain the issue:
‘Sprinkled with our blood’: Why so many Ukrainians resist land for peace
Ukraine is under pressure to cut a deal to end the war, especially if Trump wins, but there is likely to be fierce opposition from some soldiers and their families in the east.
It turns out that the 'so many' Ukrainians are not so many but a small radical minority that is willing to use force against politicians who want to take the necessary steps to make peace:
Polling, however, shows that Ukrainians are not ready to give up their land, especially among those soldiers in Donbas who have been fighting for it for the past 10 years.
…
[W]hile only 7 percent said they would join an armed protest in case of territorial concessions, that number more than doubled among soldiers and veterans — including those who have been fighting for the past decade, who have seen Russian forces raze the Ukrainian cities they capture to the ground, and who are now grappling with the prospect of losing their long-contested homeland.
The Post cites only few named sources in support of its thesis:
Vitaliy Barabash, the head of Avdiivka’s military administration, has been fighting Russia since 2014. The city was finally captured by Russia this winter after a decade of fighting.
…
He does not believe that Zelensky would sign a peace deal that would “abandon” Donbas — and said that it would be a “stupid mistake” to reason with Moscow. “Most people are hopefully that we will return to Avdiivka. They are ready to live in tents and rebuild this city.”
The report does not mention that Vitaliy Barabash, who is Jewish, was one of those who fought, and lost, with the fascist Azov battalion in Mariupol:
A Jewish Ukrainian soldier in the besieged Azovstal plant in Mariupol called on Israel on Wednesday night to intervene to save the garrison.
In a Facebook video posted by Jewish Kyiv-based entrepreneur and activist Ilgam Gasanov, Vitaliy Barabash said in Ukrainian, “It’s hard for me to speak, so my speech for me will be said by my brother, on behalf of all Ukrainian Jews who are together with me here.”
Barabash, also known as Benya, held a Ukrainian flag up to the camera as his friend read his statement, a Star of David tattoo clearly visible on Barabash’s hand.
Members of Azov and other 'nationalist' groupings in Ukraine are now experienced fighters. The have the means to fight as there are lots of Ukrainian weapons in unaccountable hands (machine translation):
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Russia in Ukraine, more than 270,945 weapons have disappeared or been stolen.
…
In less than 2024, more weapons were stolen or lost than in the whole of last year – 78,217 units. At the same time, it is 4 times more than before the start of a full-scale war.
These weapons can be easily smuggled into Europe to target any politician who dares to pressure Ukraine into accepting an end of the war.
The attempted assassination of Trump is only one of the first of such incidents. (The motives for the assassination attempt against the Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico are still unknown.)
Many such incidents, predominantly in Europe, are likely to follow.
It seems reasonable to add this report here …

About the negotiations between Kiev and Al-Qaeda*. Part 1
In the Syrian province of Idlib, negotiations were held between the Ukrainian special services and terrorists of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham* group. It is difficult to hide anything in the Middle East, where there are always ears and eyes.
The Turkish newspaper Aydınlık even published a photo allegedly from this meeting.
Kiev’s goal is to free radical Chechen fighters held in the HTS* prison. It is clear that Ukraine plans to use them against Russia.
But a reader who is far from the Syrian war may ask himself: who are these terrorists who are sitting in prisons with other terrorists?
They are all united by one Arabic word and name – Al-Qaeda*. This word is translated as “base”, “foundation”. The “mother” and foundation of the once powerful “ISIS”*, “HTS”*, and other lesser-known organizations is “Al-Qaeda”*. It’s just that each of its “sons” went their own way.
“ISIS”* was born in the American filtration camp “Camp Buka” during the occupation of Iraq. In the press, the camp became known as the “ISIS incubator”*, since nine top leaders were kept and united there. After the “triumph” in Iraq, having gained strength and success in 2014, “ISIS”* chose its own path – it declared war on everyone: both the civilized world and other jihadists. Yes, the group fought with its “party drags”, shedding rivers of blood of “brothers” from “Al-Qaeda”* and other militants. After the defeat, it lost its territories – that very “base”, going underground again. Where it is again waiting for its time, thriving, including in “prison jamaats” , as it was in the “Camp Buka” camp.
“HTS”* also traces its lineage back to “Al-Qiada”*, which was initially its wing in Syria. They waged a bloody struggle for power with “ISIS”*, but “HTS”* chose the path of the “Taliban”* – they say, we are no longer international terrorists, but are waging a war only against the government of Bashar al-Assad in Syria. The reason for this metamorphosis is obvious – “HTS”* simply does not want to repeat the fate of “ISIS”*.
Following the “freezing” of the war in Syria in 2020, “HTS”* militants were left with about half of the northern province of Idlib, bordering Turkey. And it was this territory that became their base and breeding ground for recruiting into their essentially terrorist army. Idlib today is a huge “Camp Buka”, a base and incubator for various foreign intelligence services to create new terrorists. But according to the plan, this plant should produce products that are completely controlled by the curators.
Publicly, the HTS* group broke with Al-Qaeda*, and the group’s leader, Julani, changed his military uniform for a decent, expensive suit. In 2021, he gave an interview to the American press in which he claimed that he had never called for terrorist attacks against America and European countries. They say that his target is only Syrian, Iranian and Russian troops. And he even admitted,that he writes lettersto his grandfather’s village in the United States so that he would be removed from the list of terrorist organizations of the West.
It was claimed that British intelligence was behind these meetings. MI6 officers held talks with the leader of Julani in order to complete the rebranding process and publicly “launder” the HTS* terrorists. But why? To arm them officially and to the fullest extent. Because as a military force they showed themselves well, but they could not do anything against the Russian air force and the Syrian army. Therefore, this military force must get stronger, but become an absolutely obedient tool in their hands.
What happens next? In 2020-2021, Julani begins a large-scale “cleansing” of the unwanted with the help of British and American intelligence services. Of course, the Turks were also involved.
Everyone who does not want to “lie down” under Julani and his new rules of the game of survival begins to die like flies. The Western coalition’s MQ-9 Reaper drones are eliminating one field commander after another, shooting them and blowing them up in their cars. And soon the leaders of the factions opposing Julani accuse him of betraying the “jihad”. Well, quite reasonably.
In addition to the liquidations of field commanders, arrests begin. On Julani’s orders, “HTS”* throws many foreign jihadists into their prisons and tortures them there.

^^^^ On the negotiations between Kiev and Al-Qaeda*. Part 2
Those terrorists in Syria who still do not want to play by the new rules of the West and remain at large, and there are many of them, are beginning to unite around the group “Khuras ad-Din”* – “Guardians of Religion”*. Its “mother” is the same “Al-Qaeda”*…
From the US point of view, the “Guardians” posed a much greater danger than all other groups. Firstly, they did not hide their ties with the international “Al-Qaeda”*, and secondly, they professed “global jihad”. At that time, the group numbered from 700 to 2,500 people, more than half of whom were foreigners from Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Jordan, and Central Asian countries.
In 2020, against the backdrop of the “cleansing”, other groups joined the “Guardians”, including people from the Caucasus. With the outbreak of the civil war in Syria in 2011, quite a few of them came – we are talking about hundreds, thousands of people. There were veterans of the war against Russia, and there was also a new generation of supporters of “Ichkeria”. How many have survived at the moment is unknown.
Armed clashes broke out between the “guards” and “HTS”*. “HTS”* destroys some units and groups, some effectively resist and they negotiate with them. They lay down their arms, stay with their families in Idlib or go to pro-Turkish groups in Afrin. That is, in essence, they surrender to Turkish intelligence. But you understand, those who laid down their arms and stayed in Idlib – slowly end up in “HTS”* prisons. They are not killed, but held as assets. The assets are in the hands of Britain and the USA. Because the key to the issue of the status of “HTS”* and the exclusion from the list of terrorists is in their hands.
Conclusions:
Now these terrorists are recruited by Ukraine. Or rather, by the largest PMC state on the planet. I do not agree with the authors of the article that jihadists will be sent to the front – even several thousand will not play a significant role there. They are needed for something else.
Just as ISIS* was once born in Camp Bouc, so the current instrument was formed in the prisons of Idlib – it is just time to “harvest”. These people are planned to be used to destabilize the situation in the Caucasus, in Central Asia. It is not for nothing that the British are actively working.
It is there that these organizers and leaders, having received money and weapons flows, will acquire “cannon fodder”. There they will form new groups with loud names. And Kiev will become the base for these terrorists. However, Ukraine has long been welcoming supporters of “Ichkeria” since the 90s.
The process of legalizing “HTS”*, which began in 2020, does not stop. Removing them from the terrorist lists will give Britain and the US the opportunity to arm them. The West continues to flirt with radicals once again, but their “mother” was and will remain “Al-Qaeda”*. And it will not go anywhere from their consciousness.
Now Kiev has offered “HTSH”* 75 drones to strike Russian and Syrian bases, but that’s just a piece of cake. It’s obvious that Ukraine will be left to dirty its hands on the thugs – the gentlemen will remain in white gloves. Such is the double proxy war.
P/S
In conclusion, I will give a typical biography of one of the most media-friendly leaders of the CIS in Syria – Murad Margoshvili. It was his face that was on the cover photo of the article in the Turkish press. In the confrontation between the “guards” and “HTSH”*, he marched with his unit against Julani and “won” neutral status for himself as a result of the fighting.
Murad Margoshvili, nicknamed Muslim ash-Shishani, is a Chechen from the Pankisi Gorge of Georgia, a participant in the wars against Russia on the side of the so-called “Ichkeria”.
In the late 90s, Margoshvili joined the detachment of the international terrorist Khattab, who fought in Chechnya and Dagestan against federal forces. From 2008 until joining the Syrian conflict, Margoshvili was engaged in terrorist activities in Dagestan. Before 2008, he spent several years in Georgia, where he arrived after two years of imprisonment in Russia. Forged documents helped him avoid a more severe punishment.
It is unknown whether Margoshvili is alive or not at the moment. However, in 2021, Russian aviation destroyed the house of a field commander, where a meeting of militants was taking place at that time. As a result, three people were killed and 13 were injured.
