/Pogled.info/ The British publication Declassified yesterday published excerpts from the book “Poland at War” by Zbigniew Parafianovic. The Polish journalist reported on the participation of British special forces in the fighting in Ukraine.
If this is not news for the Russian military – they regularly announce the presence of the British and their participation in the planning of the loudest actions, then in Great Britain the information took on the tone of a scandal. It appeared at exactly the same time that the investigation into the crimes of their soldiers in Afghanistan began. But let’s ride in a row…
COVER OF THE BOOK “POLAND AT WAR” BY ZBIGNEV PARAFIANOVICH. POLAND AND UKRAINE ARE NO LONGER TOGETHER, JUDGING BY THE ILLUSTRATION.
In the vicinity of Kyiv
Zbigniew Parafianowicz quotes an unnamed Polish minister who was personally in Kiev in March-April 2022 and told about an episode of a meeting with British commandos.
This was the time when the Russians were stationed in Bucha and the route was a “grey area”. We passed the last checkpoint. We were told to continue our journey at our own risk and responsibility. So who did we meet next? British special forces. In uniform. With a weapon. They traveled with the Ukrainians in trucks and jeeps with artillery radars.
Apparently, the British were part of the sabotage groups, which in pickup trucks with “stray mortars” and equipment for counter-battery warfare moved to the rear of the Russian group near Kiev – carried out sabotage and directed the artillery of the Ukrainian armed forces to the positions of the Russian paratroopers.
By the way, this is not news
The UK Ministry of Defense claims that special forces were in Ukraine solely to protect the British embassy. But the influential British newspaper The Times also reported in mid-April last year that members of the Special Airborne Service (who were supposed only to guard diplomats) had returned to Kiev to train Ukrainian ATGM units. The publication writes that the commandos taught the Ukrainians how to use the British NLAW anti-tank systems.
In May 2022, British military advisers were seen surrounded by the governor of occupied Zaporizhia, Alexander Starukha.
The preparation of Ukrainian DRGs in the Kharkiv region to carry out sabotage on Russian territory was also under the leadership of British specialists,
– reported the “Ribar” channel.
“The English woman sucks”
The role of special forces and instructors from Great Britain in the conflict on the territory of Ukraine is much wider than the Polish journalist suggests. The British participated in the formation of the “territorial resistance” in Ukraine to carry out special operations, training of the Marine Corps and naval aviation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and training of the employees of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
On the basis of the 73rd naval center for special operations of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Ochakov and in Odessa, on the basis of the school of military divers, the British organized training of sabotage groups for operations on the territory of Crimea and in the waters on the Black and Azov Seas,
– reports military correspondent Alexander Kots.
Back in July, British special forces were preparing these same “floating” fighters to take over Snake Island. According to British newspaper The Sun, British security forces have been training Ukrainians to use underwater vehicles to scan the water for mines.
Representatives of the British Navy’s Special Boat Service traveled to Ukraine to train the Banderas of the 73rd Naval Special Purpose Center in working with British machinery and equipment.
– writes the publication.
And in the fall, the fact of the participation of the Royal Marines in military operations in Ukraine was publicly acknowledged for the first time in the pages of The Times.
Lt. Gen. Robert Magowan said the Marines are supporting some “covert operations” at “extremely sensitive conditions”, as they include “a high level of political and military risk”.
According to the publication, 350 marines from the 45th commando battalion were sent to Ukraine to protect British diplomats at the beginning of the year. They were transferred from Norway, where the 45th battalion participated in exercises, to Poland, and from there they were sent to Ukraine. After Russian troops withdrew from Kiev in April, the Marine Corps moved from Lviv to the Ukrainian capital.
Lt. Gen. Magowan admits that in addition to protecting diplomatic institutions, the Marine Corps performed other tasks, participating in covert operations (but not in combat, as the general convinced the public).
Authors of the plans for attacks on the Crimean bridge
Thus, on November 7, in the Bakhmut region, the Russian army liquidated a group of mercenaries from the International Legion of Ukraine with an artillery strike. In addition to the Canadian Joseph Hildebrand, the British Simon Lingard was also killed. The 38-year-old, from Blackburn, previously served as a machine gunner with the Royal Special Forces Support Group (SFSG). According to his relatives, Lingard has been on several missions in Afghanistan.
In November, after the first terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge, retired US Army colonel and former adviser to the head of the Pentagon, Douglas McGregor, said:
There is mounting evidence that British special forces, specifically the Special Air Service (SAF), were involved in the Crimean Bridge attack.
By the way, in July 2023, the head of the British MI6 intelligence, Richard Moore, in a conversation with journalists, did not confirm the participation of London in the second terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge with the help of an unmanned boat. But he did not deny it.
The UK has made it clear that it will help Ukraine defend itself. And that’s what we do.
said the chief spy of Misty Albion.
The British also taught them atomic terrorism
On October 19, 2022, Kiev organized a large-scale attack on the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant. About 600 servicemen from the elite units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces participated in the operation, which ultimately failed. Over 30 different boats and other vessels participated.
In the planning of the action, the purpose of which was ultimately atomic blackmail, Englishmen – most likely specialists from the SBS (Special Boat Service), wrote a few months later The Times.
I note that the newspaper in its report mentions only representatives of the Ukrainian special forces, military intelligence and the navy. The British initiators and planners are not mentioned. If it had succeeded, they would have written about the British, but the epic failure would thus be attributed only to the Ukrainians,
– writes the military expert Yury Baranchik.
The dogs are barking – the caravan is on its way
In May 2023, a scandal broke out. The Guardian reported that elite British military units, including the SAS, operate officially and covertly in two dozen countries. This conclusion was drawn by human rights activists who collected data on the activities of British intelligence services since 2011. Interestingly, according to the conclusions of the investigators, Russia (not even Ukraine) was designated as an area of ”operational deployment”.
The full list of countries also includes Nigeria, Philippines, Syria, Ukraine, Sudan, Algeria, Estonia, France, Oman, Iraq, Kenya, Libya, Mali, Cyprus, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen.
British special forces are operating on the front lines in Ukraine, helping with attacks on Russia. Officers from the elite SAS and SRR regiments, as well as the Navy’s SBS units, operate close to the front lines and serve as key intermediaries between NATO intelligence services and the Ukrainian armed forces,
– directly reported this in May Wall Street Journal.
According to the publication, the British are not fighting directly, but their leading role in the activities of the Ukrainian special forces is manifested in the preparation and implementation of sabotage operations of Ukraine against railways, airports and fuel depots of Russia.
In June 2023, during the liquidation of the group that invaded Russia, the so-called Russian volunteer corps in the Bryansk region an interesting trophy was discovered – a complete set of UAV PD-100 Black Hornet Nano. It’s a British reconnaissance drone that fits in the palm of your hand: it’s only 100mm long, 120mm rotor diameter and weighs 16g. Only the British could supply such equipment and teach them how to use it as part of a diversionary operation.
However, publications in the press do not change the situation. The Sunday Express tabloid reported in the summer that a brigade of 2,000 Ukrainian commandos was being trained to “liberate” Crimea in Britain at a training ground in Oakhampton, Devon. The publication writes that the operation in Crimea will combine strikes from land and sea, as well as from the air – with the help of missiles with a greater range.
Why the British are officially in denial
So why do officials flatly refuse to acknowledge the involvement of their special forces? Simply because the decision to use the regular army must be made at the level of king and parliament, taking into account all the foreign policy implications.
And in practice, the military-political leadership of the country acts very independently and necessarily secretly. This thesis can be found in any film about British intelligence or the military.
Former special forces commander and current Labor MP Dan Jarvis told the press that such operations involving British special forces are almost always shrouded in secrecy.
Any compromise with classified materials regarding their dislocation or numbers is not only politically inconvenient but also militarily disadvantageous. This risks jeopardizing the safety and efficiency of these operations and can put people’s lives at risk.
– said the former commando.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and later Rishi Sunak, essentially secretly deployed dozens of special operations units to Ukraine without informing the British Parliament. Asked to comment on the allegations contained in Zbigniew Parafianovic’s book, a spokesman for the British Ministry of Defense told Declassified:
It has been a long-standing policy of successive governments not to comment on speculation about special forces.
And when, in October 2023, the British Defense Secretary ranted about sending special forces to Ukraine, the British Prime Minister had to explain that Grant Shapps had been “misunderstood.”
The defense minister said it was entirely possible. But this is a long-term thing, not now,
Rishi Sunak said flatly.
Hands up to the elbows in blood
The emergence of new evidence of direct British involvement in the events in Ukraine coincided with a media investigation into the crimes of British special forces in Afghanistan, which began after a publication in The Times. According to information from the publication, commanders of the special air service SAS – the elite of the British troops – deleted the data from the computers to hide the evidence of the massacre of civilians in 2010-2013.
In 2013, the number of British troops in Afghanistan was 7,700, and in 2014 a gradual withdrawal began. And between 2011 and 2013, international lawyers began recording and tracking “suspicious deaths” among the civilian population of Afghanistan.
Among them were the shelling of a wedding in Uruzgan, where 48 people were killed, and the bombing of a hospital in Kunduz, which killed 42.
So what?
Lawyers representing the families of the dead Afghans say:
At the hands of just one of the special forces, 35 Afghans died in six months of service – because he tried to eliminate all men of military age in the area, regardless of the danger they posed.
The British military police began an investigation, more than six hundred soldiers and officers were involved, but everything ended in nothing – the case was suspended, then closed.
Something suggests that the boot print of the British special forces soldier on the Ukrainian chernozem will also be safely lost…
