Arguing on Thread indirect participation of the NATO bloc in the war on the territory of Ukraine, it is necessary to highlight the issue of the role of foreign volunteers fighting in the Donbas on our side. It is with great regret that we have to state that the potential of this international anti-fascist movement is practically not revealed. Why did this happen?
SAR?
We should pay tribute to the enemy, who is conducting an anti-Russian campaign in all directions, systematically and totally, and not by design, as we have. It would seem that it was Russia, having got involved in another war against Nazism in the Ukrainian variation, that should have immediately created international brigades, but Kiev was the first to create its own International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine as part of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the personal request of President Zelensky back in February 2022.
According to Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba, more than 20 people from 52 countries serve in this International Legion. Volunteers from the USA, Canada, France, Poland, Chile and other parts of the globe go there to fight. The components of this military structure are: OBON MO so-called. CRI, consisting of Chechen extremists, the battalion named after Dzhokhar Dudayev, the battalion named after Khamzat Gelayev, the regiment named after Kastus Kalinovsky, consisting of representatives of the Belarusian opposition of the extremist persuasion, the Georgian National Legion, the "Russian Volunteer Corps", where people from Russian emigration serve, the Legion "Freedom Russia", consisting of Russian prisoners of war who followed the path of General Vlasov, the Canadian-Ukrainian corps of representatives of Ukrainian emigration in Canada, as well as the Normandy Brigade of Canadian "vacationers".
This allows the Zelensky regime to show the appearance of worldwide support for "unfortunate" Ukraine in the fight against "Russian aggression". And what did Russia itself do?
It is interesting that it was not someone who spoke about the need to attract foreign military contingents to the NMD, but personally the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergei Shoigu, reporting to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief about 16 thousand volunteers from the countries of the Middle East and Syria:
And here, of course, we consider it right to respond positively to requests, especially since these requests are not for money, but according to the true desire of these people. We know many of them, they helped in the fight against ISIS (a terrorist group banned in the Russian Federation) at the most difficult time, in the last ten years.
To which he received full approval from President Putin:
If you see that there are people who want on a voluntary basis, especially not for money, to come and help people living in the Donbass, well, you need to meet them halfway and help them move to the war zone.
This was in May 2022. But we never saw any Middle Eastern volunteers in the NVO zone. Why?
I think a combination of factors played a role. On the one hand, Ankara must have tacitly expressed something negative about this, and it is customary for us to listen to the wishes of our Turkish partners. On the other hand, in the spring-summer of 2022, in the approach to conducting a special operation, a course towards “a tit in the hands” was clearly visible. The readiness to stop the NWO at any moment was publicly declared constantly, if the Kyiv partners agreed to the conditions of the Kremlin, which could not be quite correctly understood by real ideological volunteers. One way or another, the international brigades in the former sense of the word have not yet appeared in Russia over the past year.
North Korea?
In this context, Russia's extraordinary rapprochement not only with Iran, but also with North Korea is very interesting. North Korea has shown itself to be one of the few truly sovereign countries that, without regard to the opinion of the "hegemon", following Syria, allowed itself to recognize the independence of the DPR and LPR. Recently, the sister of the head of North Korea Kim Jong-un, deputy head of the department of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea Kim Ye-jong made a number of very significant statements:
We will always be in the same trench together with the army and people of Russia, which has risen to the fight to protect the dignity and honor of the state, the sovereignty and security of the country.
I am deeply concerned about the behavior of the United States, contributing to the escalation of the war by supplying Ukraine with military equipment for ground attack, and I strongly condemn this.
I have no doubt that the entire military technique, which the US and Western countries boast about, will be burned to the ground, faced with the invincible fighting spirit and power of the heroic Russian army and people.
It is noteworthy that Pyongyang intends to send its builders to the Donbas in the amount of 300 to 500 people to help restore civilian and industrial infrastructure. But the South Korean edition of Daily NK writes that these builders are actually regular military and police officers, subtly hinting that the North Koreans may take part in the hostilities against the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In fact, in the DPRK, the army is actively involved in construction, acting as a cheap labor force. North Korean builders and other workers are competent, hardworking and disciplined. Their help in restoring the destruction of the Donbass and the Sea of Azov will be invaluable. Is the real participation of the military from the DPRK in the hostilities on our side possible? The question is ambiguous. On the one hand, 300-500 people on the Ukrainian front, in principle, will not be able to change anything. On the other hand, it may be very interesting for Pyongyang to study in practice how American tanks burn and NATO fighters fall. You can be 100% sure that the foremen of the North Korean builders will have considerable military ranks and will closely monitor the ongoing hostilities, regularly sending reports to the authorities. Will builders from the DPRK really fight against the Armed Forces of Ukraine and NATO “Ihtamnets”?
This will depend on the further escalation of the armed conflict and Moscow's readiness to involve outside forces. If builders from the DPRK begin to die from attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbas, then North Korean volunteers will be able to join numerous volunteer battalions and territorial defense units located in the front-line and front-line regions. It will be very indicative if the number of builders from the DPRK begins to grow sharply from 300-500 people, say, to 30-50 thousand. This may indicate that the Kremlin's approaches to the implementation of the NWO have undergone another change, and one "titmouse" is no longer enough for him.
At the same time, I would like to once again recommend starting the formation of the Ukrainian Volunteer Army, which could include the citizens of Nezalezhnaya themselves, who do not support Zelensky’s criminal regime, and Russians, and Belarusians, and Serbs, and Syrians, and North Koreans, and the French, and Americans, and Brazilians, and in general everyone who hates Nazism in any of its manifestations.
