Kiev, Ukraine and Minsk, Belarus (CNN)Security forces shattered the early morning calm of the lakeside Soviet-era resort outside the Belarusian capital of Minsk, bursting in to arrest 32 Russian mercenaries.
It was less than two weeks before Belarus' presidential election last year, and authorities suspected that the outsiders had been sent from Russia to interfere. The men were indeed part of a mission. But the target was not Belarus, and they were not under orders from any Russian entity. They were being set up. The 32, along with one other man detained in southern Belarus, were the target of an elaborate intelligence sting by Ukraine, with the knowledge and alleged support of the United States.

WNU Editor: 32 large Russian men with military haircuts all together at a private resort/spa would raise a red flag anywhere.
I am surprised that this failed operation is being made public albeit anonymously by Ukrainian intelligence officers to CNN.
I would also like to know who tipped the Belarusian authorities that there were Russian mercenaries were at this resort. A mole in Ukraine intelligence?

I would think the arrival of such a group even as individuals would have caused more than a few eyebrows to raise, hence a phone call here and there.
Too bad.
Weird indeeeeeeed
But we know this: Democrats love China and hate Russia, at least that's their brand, don't know why, but that's how they roll
Trump was more pro Russia and far more against China, which is not reflective of all Republicans/conservatives, BUT a good portion of them for sure agree China is the bigger threat
Either case, it's one of those things the Democrats like to do, leak or use - for something, even if it's just to distract you, from e.g. the fact that the governor of West Virginia just released data that paints a very dark picture on the vaccines (in short they seem to make things worse and he has the data)
So yeah, maybe one of those things "look over there" - while there's something else going on
OR and that could be.. Biden wanted to embarrass Ukraine - for their audacity to almost work with Trump on the 1bn USD Biden, ON VIDEO, bragged about withholding. A criminal offence. And they (the Democrats) even impeached Trump over that phone call.
Anyone remembers?
Anyone?
Anyone?
Bueller?
:O:D
Fck those globalist scum traitors
It looked strange. Was it a well-planned operation, I mean an Ukrainian spies operation. According to the operation, they were going to ground a civil aircraft, so they were going to break an international law from the outset.
