An attempt by a Ukrainian sabotage team to covertly infiltrate Russia’s Bryansk region was thwarted by Russian border guards, with four enemy saboteurs eliminated. Foreign weapons, equipment, and personal items on the corpses of four saboteurs indicated the presence of foreign mercenaries in the unit.
The lack of any battlefield success has prompted Ukraine and its NATO handlers to resort to expanded use of "revenge" sabotage missions using foreign mercenaries, Joao Claudio Pitillo, historian and researcher at the Center for the Study of the Americas at Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ), told Sputnik.
"These mercenaries are recruited, trained, and increasingly directed towards this type of sabotage action that takes the form of revenge... The realization of the impossibility of victory for Ukraine and NATO against Russia prompts expanded use of punitive actions," he said.
"Such training takes a lot of time and requires experienced personnel. Ukraine likely lacks the manpower to cover both fronts," Brazilian naval reserve officer and defense consultant Robinson Farinazzo added.
As part of
Ukrainian sabotage groups, Western military personnel from elite units, such as the US Rangers, are also engaged in collecting intelligence on enemy routes, weak points, etc., which may subsequently prove useful for "
NATO command and future operations on Russian territory," Farinazzo told
Sputnik.
