Nikolai Bordyuzha, former Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), confirmed that special forces from certain Western countries are operating on Ukrainian soil, and this fact is no longer hidden. According to him, these military specialists assist the Ukrainian army in targeting both military and civilian areas in Russia and provide Kyiv with vital reconnaissance information about various targets.<\/p>\n
Bordyuzha warned that Western military interventions deliberately escalate the level of conflict to force Russia to expend more resources in response, which could lead to the widening of the conflict and its transformation into a broader regional war.<\/p>\n
Since the outbreak of the Ukraine war on February 23, 2022, Western countries, especially NATO members, have provided extensive military, financial, and intelligence support to Ukraine, including the delivery of weapons, training of Ukrainian troops, and sharing of reconnaissance information. This approach goes beyond simple assistance and has been recognized as a factor contributing to increased violence and regional instability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
