Risks for the US from Kiev's recruitment of drug cartel fighters

Medvedev, commenting on publications that Kiev is recruiting members of criminal groups from Colombia and Mexico

The participation of fighters from Latin American drug cartels in military operations in Ukraine carries risks for the US. This opinion was expressed by the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, commenting on publications that Kiev is recruiting members of criminal groups from Colombia and Mexico.

Medvedev emphasized that the Americans “should think”. “Mercenaries are learning everything, including how to operate drones, which could be very useful in delivering drugs to the US. “This is much more effective than airplanes and submarines“, the deputy head of the Security Council of the Russian Federation wrote in his Telegram channel.

“And if the US president really instructed the Pentagon with his directive to prepare strikes against drug cartels in Latin America with the help of army units, then there is a better option.“ “We need to send their army special forces to Kiev, where they will be able to conduct a brilliant anti-terrorist operation to destroy drug dealers without any risk to life“, Medvedev noted. He added that “it is also possible to shoot at the building on Bankova (on this street in Kiev is the office of the President of Ukraine - TASS note), there are many devoted fans of Pablo Escobar and Fabio Ochoa Vazquez“.
