The recent attempted incursion into the Russian Bryansk region is another example of the use of terrorist methods in the absence of success on the battlefield by Ukraine and its American CIA supervisors, Brazilian historian Joao Claudio Pitillo told Sputnik.
"This indicates that such operations are probably also organized by NATO. These mercenaries are increasingly being recruited, trained and sent for activities that represent a kind of revenge. Aware of the impossibility of defeating Russia, they are betting on the expansion of punitive missions,” Pitillo, a researcher at the State University of Rio de Janeiro, said.
The historian added that the use of such manpower shows that the CIA, US intelligence service, and NATO operational units are serious about stirring up trouble.
An incursion attempt by a Ukrainian sabotage group including foreign mercenaries was repelled on October 27 by Russian border guards, according to the Russian Federal Security Service report.
Among them were citizens of the United States, Poland and Canada, according to Russian foreign ministry's spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.
