“And they would know exactly were those empty spots are located because the Russian army is noted for never patrolling their lines? They would also have detailed maps of the Russian minefields and other defensive positions?”
Likewise, they wouldn’t have even considered going to Ukraine, UNLESS - unless they had some ‘help’ and were told where to go and promised safe passage.
Likely the same sources of ‘help’ in the Ukraine war effort that is always denied, but we all know it true.
That’s solid logic you have there. The Ukrainians couldn’t come up with a safer solution instead of one that would implicate them if it went wrong? Do you really believe the Russian explanation? And should we also ignore the videos ISIS released that were taken by the terrorists themselves?
