The media received exclusive video and photos showing a successful operation of Ukrainian special forces of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine against Russian troops in Syria, the Kyiv Post reports .
According to the publication’s sources in the special services, at the end of July 2024, the Khimik group carried out a comprehensive strike against the positions of the Russian occupation forces at the Kuveyres airfield near Aleppo. The published footage shows how the Russian electronic warfare complex is first destroyed, and then military facilities at the airfield itself are attacked.
It is noteworthy that the strike was carried out the day after Putin’s meeting with Assad on July 24. According to intelligence sources, this airfield was also used to train mercenaries for deployment to Ukraine.
In early June, Ukrainian special forces already conducted successful operations against Russian forces in the Golan Heights. Since the beginning of the year, rebels supported by Ukrainian soldiers have launched numerous strikes against Russian targets in Syria.
It is worth noting that after the deployment of some troops from Syria to Ukraine last fall, Russian positions in the region became more vulnerable. At the same time, the Russians continue to recruit mercenaries for the war against Ukraine.
As you know, in May 2023, the head of the GUR, Kirill Budanov, announced his intention to “destroy Russian war criminals anywhere in the world.” In addition to Syria, Ukrainian special forces continue operations against the Wagnerites in Africa.
