According to available information, the special services of those countries took part in the preparation of the Ukrainian Army’s operation in the Kursk region, says an intelligence report.

The information adds that the Ukrainian units involved in the attack underwent combat training at training centers in the United Kingdom and Germany.

In addition, military advisors from NATO countries are assisting Ukrainian troops who invaded Russian territory by training them on the use of Western weapons and military equipment.

NATO member countries also provide the Ukrainian military with satellite reconnaissance data on the deployment of Russian troops in the area of the operation, the Foreign Intelligence Service said.

Earlier, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that Ukraine would not have dared to attack the Kursk region if it had not received instructions to do so from the United States.
