A Famous Ukrainian journalist warns Syrian fighters recruited to fight in Ukraine

Dmitry Gordon is a Ukrainian journalist, interviewer, politician and singer. He is also the editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Boulevard"

In a video shared on his Facebook page, Ukrainian journalist and interviewer, Dmitry Gordon, said that "through the interrogation of the captured Russian soldiers in Ukraine, we found out that the Russian military leaders, especially Alexander Krinkevich, are recruiting some Syrians to fight in Ukraine."

Mr Gordon said: "The Russians promise the Syrian fighters that their wages will be around $1800 per mont."

"They are also tempting that Ukraine is full of beautiful women who will surely give them free sex," he added.

Dmitry Gordon, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Boulevard", issued a stern warning to Alexander Krinkevich and military leaders who are recruiting Syrians: "If you can hear me now and I am sure you hear me well, stop this farce before you regret it."

To the deceived Syrians, he issued another warning: "Come to Ukraine, we will certainly honor you as we did with the Russian soldiers when they attacked us.”

Many reports indicate, the Hmeimim base, which is a Syrian airbase currently operated by Russia, located south-east of the city of Latakia in Hmeimim, with partnership with the Syrian regime, are recruiting Syrians to fight alongside the Russian forces that launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24.

Earlier, four US officials said: "Russia hope their (Syrian fighters) expertise in urban combat can help take Kyiv and deal a devastating blow to the Ukraine government."

Upon arriving to participate in the summit of the European Political Community, which includes around forty heads of state in Budapest, he said, "I look forward to sitting with the elected U.S. president and seeing how we will collectively ensure we meet challenges, including the threats from Russia and North Korea." He also noted that the strengthening of ties between Russia and North Korea poses a threat to the United States as well, according to reports from Agence France-Presse.

Before Trump's victory, Rutte expressed confidence that a united Washington would remain part of the defensive alliance, even if Trump became the 47th president of the United States. In an interview with German public broadcaster ZDF last Monday night, he stated that both Republicans and Democrats understand that NATO serves not only the security of Europe but also that of America. He added that both candidates are aware that the security of the United States is closely tied to NATO.

On Wednesday, NATO congratulated Trump on his victory but did not address the Ukrainian issue.

It is noteworthy that the relationship between the elected U.S. president and the defense alliance was not the best during his first term in the White House. Trump criticized NATO member states multiple times and even hinted at withdrawing from the alliance unless they increased their financial contributions.

Additionally, the issue of the Russian-Ukrainian war is one of the matters that complicate relations between the two sides, especially since Trump has repeatedly stated that he can end this ongoing conflict, which began in 2022, quickly. He implied that he had a peace plan between Kyiv and Moscow, while his vice president, JD Vance, revealed aspects of that plan, which stipulated Ukraine's commitment not to join NATO, thereby sending reassuring signals to the Russians.

Furthermore, many NATO member states in Europe fear that Trump might halt military aid to Ukraine after he previously criticized the U.S. for pouring funds into supporting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
