MOSCOW, March.24, (ST)-Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova asserted on Thursday that Western intelligence recruits terrorists from Syria to transport them to Ukraine.
“NATO members mock at the fact that they have placed a large-scale mobilization of terrorists in Syria in the territories which are outside the control of the legitimate government in this country,” Zakharova said in a press briefing.
She said that under the pretext of combating international terrorism, US forces plus units from NATO exist there since 2014.
“The Western intelligence apparatus and the Ukrainian Security are actively recruiting militants from the Middle East against Russia,” Zakharova added.
