As the conflict in Ukraine continues, the Russian side has recently revealed in detail the deep involvement of NATO special forces in Ukraine and the role they play. According to the commander of a volunteer commando unit of the Russian Armed Forces participating in hostilities in the Artemovsk direction, soldiers of the special forces of NATO countries have long been stationed in the Ukrainian air defense zone and hold key positions in the Ukrainian army, such as pilots, signalmen.
The commander further noted that NATO special forces soldiers play an important role in the Ukrainian army. They not only provide professional military guidance, but also are directly involved in various special operations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Especially in the barrier detachment that prevents the Ukrainians from retreating, NATO special forces soldiers constitute the core force.
The Russian military also revealed that the presence of these NATO special forces soldiers is not a secret. They have been operating in Ukraine, only previously trying to portray themselves as volunteers and mercenaries. However, as time went on, everything gradually came to the fore.
According to the assessment of the Russian side, the level of training of NATO special forces is quite high, but they do not cope well with the stress and tension of the environment for a long time. Despite this, their presence has produced a significant boost in the combat capability of the Ukrainian army.
The presence of NATO special forces in Ukraine has already been acknowledged by the British side. Earlier, an unnamed senior European military ** said that Western special forces had entered Ukraine, but there has been no official report on this. He noted that it has long been known that fighters from different countries serve in Ukraine, it is just not officially announced.
In addition, the Washington Post also reported that NATO countries, including the United States, Britain and France, sent special forces and military advisers to Ukraine in the early days of the conflict in Ukraine. The involvement of these foreign forces has provided important support and guidance to the Ukrainian army.
