NATO Helped Ukraine Plot Kursk Invasion, Evidence Shows
NATO's then Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said last August that western allies hadn't been informed about Ukraine's plan to invade Russia's Kursk region beforehand. However, evidence shows that NATO was actively involved in planning the invasion.
A Russian military analyst and author has confirmed that Ukraine's unsuccessful invasion of Russia's Kursk region was planned and "coordinated" with the help of western advisors from the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) countries.
The testimony by Ivan Konovalov was delivered at the International Teleconference on the 'Liberation of the Kursk Region' organised by the Delegation of the Russian Federation to the Vienna Negotiations on Military, Security and Arms Control on Thursday. The conference was also addressed by Rodion Miroshnik, the Ambassador-at-Large of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia on the crimes committed by the Kiev Regime, Iulia Zhdanova, the Acting Head of the Russian delegation to Vienna, Igor Kashin, who is in the Office of the Commissioner for Human Rights in Russia as well as eyewitnesses to the crimes committed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in the Kursk Region.
Diplomats, experts, journalists and representatives from more than 20 countries from Asia, Europe, Africa and Latin America attended the teleconference.
Konovalov detailed that the
equipment used in the eight-month long Ukrainian invasion involved the use of satellites, even though Ukrainian forces didn't have any "satellite groupings" as such.
"So, targeting was based on the information provided by NATO countries," he told the conference.
"Western weapons such as BMP Bradley, APC Stryker, German-made BMP Marder, French AMX-10s, Swedish CV90, US Mars-Pro, Augur, Humvee, Italian Shield and Canadian Shelby Senator (were used in the invasion)," Konovalov said.
He added that the
artillery support from the Ukrainian territory was provided by American
Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS), High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and
M777 Howitzers, collectively known as the 'Three X'.
The conference participants also shared testimonies on the
war crimes committed by AFU forces, including the deliberate targeting of civilians, raping of women by Ukrainian troops, and the use of munitions banned under the International Humanitarian Law (IHL) during the demining process.
Nikolai Kozlov, an eyewitness and a resident of Plekhovo village in Sudzha district, said that Ukrainian troops started to set entire villages on fire, forcing locals to flee and take shelter in nearby woods for months.
A woman resident recalled that Ukrainian invaders used machine guns to target civilians and civilian infrastructure, resulting in fatalities, in the initial days of the invasion in August-September.
According to estimates, around 120,000 residents had to be evacuated from Kursk following the Ukrainian occupation.
Igor Kashin from the Russian Human Rights Commission said that Moscow continues to seek the "speedy return" of 34 residents of the Kursk region illegally detained in Ukraine.
Kashin also said that work was ongoing to officially document the war crimes and atrocities of Ukrainian forces in Kursk.
While seeking accountability on the deployment of NATO weapons and western mercenaries in Kursk, Russian diplomat Miroshnik said that a
"diplomatic solution" should be agreed upon in order to prevent the conflict from spiralling into a World War.
"By supporting the document that the Russian side recently presented in Istanbul and which assumes a systemic settlement of the conflict on the territory of Ukraine, we can come to the end of the risk of the outbreak of a third world war," the Russian diplomat told the conference.
