Ukraine trained Syrian terrorists - media | 1 Dec 2024 | Some Islamist groups that attacked Syria's northern Aleppo province this week received training from a Special Forces unit of the Ukrainian military intelligence service (HUR), the Kyiv Post claimed in a piece published on Sunday. According to the Kiev-based weekly, some militant groups based in Syria's Idlib province, which is not under government control, were provided "operational training" by the Khimik Group, reportedly an HUR Special Forces unit.
