ALBAWABA - The Associated Press (AP) has published video footage that, in a shocking revelation, shows a Ukrainian soldier wearing his military uniform with an ISIS symbol conspicuously displayed on his left arm. 

The disclosure has sparked contentious discussions and brought up important issues regarding Ukraine's involvement in the most recent military assault on Moscow.

Citing the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine over territorial disputes, commentators have expressed concerns about possible Ukrainian involvement in the recent armed incident in Moscow that was claimed by ISIS.

Friday was the attack date, and ISIS quickly claimed responsibility. Experts have blamed a Ukrainian faction, believing they were involved in planning the attack.
 

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has claimed that in order to conduct terrorist operations in Russia and other CIS nations, the US military is actively seeking out fighters from jihadist organizations connected to Al-Qaeda and ISIS.

According to the SVR, these recruits—60 of whom received training at the Al-Tanf facility in Syria—are being told to go after senior CIS security and diplomatic personnel.
