Russian FSB Officer Defects

Moscow – ISIS: interview of the turncoat

DECEMBER 16TH, 2015 10:20

According to the Eugene’s interview given to the Ukrainian channels, during his service in FSB he focused on counter-terrorism operations, had a relatively high security clearance and is able to render proof of the evident links between Russia and ISIS as well as Moscow’s and its agents within Islamic communities abroad being complicit to the terrorist hustle-and-bustle occurred in Europe.

For example, Eugene said that the breakdown of shops in London during 2009-2011 were organized in compliance with plans hatched by FSB and SVR against British security service.

Along with that, agent infiltration into Muslim diasporas of the European countries has been carried out by Russia for years.

Moreover, Russian renegade outlined that if to take into account the number of Russian agents in Muslim entities around Europe, it is obvious that Moscow perfectly knew about the upcoming terrorist attacks witnessed by Paris later.

The bulk of the foregoing facts mentioned by the former FSB officer were outlined earlier, thus now it is quite possible to arrive with a number of provisional conclusions regarding Moscow’s policy in the Middle East, which came to light from sources other than the revelations of the mysterious chekist operative.

1. Let alone Eugene, but many other Russian experts said that Paris terrorist attacks were hugely beneficial to Moscow.

Furthermore, tactics played by Russian media as well as Kremlin’s political establishment stood as a sheer proof to the aforementioned conclusion.

Particularly, major Russian channels saw the speakers maintaining the idea that Europe pays for mistakes of the USA policy in the Middle East, and “its necessity to look up to Russia instead of taking the lead of America”.

Hence, Moscow used terrorist attacks as a step forward in its geostrategic goal aimed at dividing NATO and the EU, which was proclaimed by Belarus experts a month before the attacks took place.

Considering the foregoing, it seems that Russia is hardly interested in putting an end to ISIS.

2. All the domestic and foreign policy scenario of Russia is fine-tuned to confront the West or at least the USA. This is clearly illustrated by the conflict with Turkey and multiple informational attacks against the unity of the EU and NATO.

It is suffice to mention professionally-shot video clips spread via the Internet after Paris tragedy, where the Russians were called to fight not against ISIS, but to combat America. The latter was labeled in the video as the creator of ISIS in particular and international terrorism in general. Interestingly, similar opinion was repeatedly rendered by V. Putin.

“Russia pushes hard to weaken the USA’s stance in the region in order to make a dent in Iranian-American partnership or force American’s into a tough choice between the relations with Tehran or El-Riyadh.

As well as that, Moscow cherishes hopes to lay its grip on Mediterranean seashore of Syria in order to be able to call shots in ongoing and future oil / gas development projects implemented by states and companies of the Middle East and Europe”, – stated Mr. Arseniy Sivickiy, director of Strategic and Foreign Policy Studies Center long before the revelations of Eugene.

Consequently, Russia appears to be rather an ally of terrorist in the part to combat the West, although there is no direct link between the former and the latter.

Besides, the aforesaid is explained by the fact that major part of Putin’s problems is associated with the West, i.e. imposition of sanctions initiated by the European countries, not to mention their support to Ukraine, prevent Russia to achieve its primary goals on the post-Soviet arena.

3. Russia wields certain leverages of influence on ISIS. For the record, this fact came to light also before the confessions of the turncoat named Eugene.

Rabbi Abraham Shmulevich, president of Eastern Partnership Institute, outlined that the majority of ISIS militants is recruited in Russia and former Soviet republics.

Also, there are many ISIS commanders who came to be Russian-educated Iraqi generals having served in Saddam Hussein’s army in the times of his regime.

“Russian intelligence has detailed files on many of ISIS commanders, but the questions remains as regards to the use of these files? Suspicions towards that matter are still alive, but Russia ceases to do nothing to have them stopped. Hence, in present situation we can state that Russia had its part in the creation of ISIS”, – said Shmulevich.

Stanislav Belkovskiy, Russian oppositional political expert, told media that Putin knew about Paris terrorist attacks, because he has huge agent networks within ISIS. Belkovskiy said that those networks were operated by E. Primakov.

The foregoing is partially proved V. Milov, former Russian MP, but now the leader of oppositional political party named “Demokraticheskiy Vybor” (in English stands for “Democratic Choice”).

4. Russian and old Soviet weaponry is somehow appeared with ISIS.

Noteworthy, in this regard Russian propaganda blames Ukraine, America, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia.

Apart from that, some experts state that an array of weapons for ISIS (not to mention other similar groupings) were vigorously re-exported during the hostilities from the territory of Donbas held by pro-Russian militants and annexed Crimea.

By the way, there are undeniable facts that portable anti-aircraft systems enjoyed major popularity in ISIS.

In line with experts’ opinion, dummy leaders of LNR / DNR could not let themselves to make such decisions without prior go-ahead from Moscow.

To crown it all, it seems that the aforesaid facts about the links between Russia and ISIS fully overlap with the statements made by Eugene.

Basically, defected FSB officer proved the opinions expressed by many other experts, including Russia’s arms trafficking, FSB / SVR large agent networks in ISIS, which stirs the suspicion that present situation in the Middle East is quite beneficial for Kremlin.
