MOSCOW, March 26. /TASS/. Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has evidence that Ukraine trained militants in the Middle East, FSB director Alexander Bortnikov said.

"We know that the Ukrainian side was training militants in the Middle East," he told journalists, adding that representatives of the Kiev regime had visited terrorist bases there.

According to Bortnikov, this is evidenced by the large number of foreigners fighting on the part of the Kiev regime. "They are nationalists, mercenaries, Islamists the country brings in to fight against Russia," he noted.
