| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [REGNUM] The Russian embassy in Copenhagen said that the DRTV video, which showed a soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with a patch of the terrorist group "Islamic State" (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation), demonstrates the values that Ukrainian soldiers follow. The press service of the Russian Embassy in Copenhagen wrote about this on February 16 on its page on the social network. “Correspondents of the Danish TV channel (DRTV) captured a Ukrainian soldier, whose uniform is “decorated” with a chevron with the symbols of ISIS. Another clear example of the values that the Ukrainian military adheres to," the press service reports. As REGNUM reported, the Ukrainian authorities, with the assistance of representatives of Western countries, are openly recruiting militants from the Islamic State and other terrorist groups in the Middle East who are ready to "kill Russians." Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry officially announced that foreign mercenaries would not be able to count on the status of prisoners of war and on the protection of international conventions. Recall that "Western" mercenaries have long been present in the Ukrainian nationalist battalions. |
