MOSCOW,(ST)_ A Russian Military  and Diplomatic Source said  that countries allied to the ” Syrian opposition” are planning to carry out provocative operations through figures of Slavic complexions  in order to tarnish Russia’s reputation as one of the intermediate states in the negotiating process.
The source explained that circles interested in changing the regime in Syria are currently recruiting clients with Slavic facial features from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus be assigned to play the role of Russian mercenaries  to serve as warriors with the “Syrian regime”  and are supposed to be captivated by the  armed terrorist groups of the so called “Free Army” .
The source added that ” these mercenaries prisoners created by the armed groups  are presumed  to give televised testimonies   on  that the Russian intelligence was involved in  sending them from Russia to Syria  by  the Russian warships,” adding that these scenes can be filmed in Turkey or Jordan, where studios and special places  are equipped  in advance  to be broadcast widely as evidence on the destruction of the Syrian cities.
The source continued that  the characters candidate to do the work are men preferably  of Slavic appearance aging between  25 and 45 years ,  and of experience in military service, air defense and how to use arms.
The source recalled a former UN  accusation against   Russia of supporting the Syrian leadership and later  when the Western media incited the issue  of supplying  Syria with Russian  weapons including  the Russian Iskander missile systems.  The source also recalled such attempts when  the British ” Guardian” newspaper  by the  end of  last December rumored that  Russian ships transported military pieces to Syria by  Russian special units for the  use and maintenance of  the Syrian air defense systems and for  units of the Syrian foreign intelligence forces.
