Whispers from the Syrian Front: Did Kyiv Play a Role in Assad’s Fall?
The dust has barely settled on the ruins of Assad’s regime, yet questions already swirl like desert winds. Did external forces play a hand in this seismic shift of power? Several videos circulating online point a finger at an unexpected player: Ukraine. These videos, ranging from news clips to independent analysis, explore a controversial narrative: Ukrainian drones and operators, deployed thousands of miles from their own embattled nation, allegedly tipped the scales in the Syrian conflict. This raises a crucial question: was Ukraine involved in a proxy war against Russia in Syria, and did this "drone gambit" contribute to Assad’s downfall? The implications for international relations and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine are profound.
Echoes of War: Key Insights from the Frontlines
Direct Allegations: Several videos directly claim Ukrainian involvement in supporting Syrian rebel groups, specifically Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), with drone operators and FPV (First Person View) drones—technology reportedly designed and manufactured within Ukraine.
Motivation and Context: The purported Ukrainian objective is presented as twofold: retaliation against Russia’s support for Assad and an attempt to force Russia into a multi-front war, diverting resources from the conflict in Ukraine.
Varying Assessments of Impact: While some sources claim a significant Ukrainian contribution to Assad’s overthrow, others describe it as "modest" but still symbolically and strategically important.
Official Denial and Secrecy: The alleged Ukrainian operations are described as an "open secret," with some videos citing reports that senior Biden administration officials claimed ignorance of any involvement.
The Drone’s Shadow: Unraveling the Narrative
The narrative presented in these videos requires careful scrutiny. Independent verification from reputable sources is crucial to determine the validity of these claims. While reports of Ukrainian operations against Russian interests elsewhere add a layer of plausibility, the precise extent and impact of any Ukrainian involvement in Syria remain unclear. The apparent secrecy surrounding the alleged operation raises further questions. Was this a rogue operation, or was there tacit approval from other actors?
The Syrian Puzzle: Unanswered Questions
The videos highlighted here offer a glimpse into a complex and murky landscape. They suggest a possible, albeit controversial, connection between the wars in Ukraine and Syria, raising more questions than they answer. To understand the full picture, scroll down and delve deeper into the evidence presented in these videos. The truth, as always, lies buried beneath the rubble of war.

Ukraine Aided In Overthrow Of AssadPDS News Clips33,721 views | 8,235 | December 12 2024 21:10:31 (350 comments)[ Read more … ]
Ukraine reportedly aided HTS in their offensive in Syria. With it being reported that Ukraine sent 20 drone operators and 150 FPV – First Person View – drones to Syria. The FPV drones Ukraine uses are designed and manufactured in Ukraine and are not typically part of any foreign assistance packages they receive. The Ukrainians are reported to have played a modest role in the overthrow of Assad. Their motivation is straightforward – Assad was propped up by Putin and Russian forces. Ukraine has sought to bloody Russia’s nose around the world in an effort to embarrass them and force Russia to fight a multifront war, diverting resources from Ukraine. Outside of Syria, Ukraine ventured to West Africa where Russia has puppet governments and assisted their rebels. In August, Ukrainian intelligence helped rebels in Mali ambush Russian mercenaries, killing 84 Russians and 47 Malians. Mali cut off diplomatic relations with Ukraine afterwards. Ukraine has also deployed troops to Sudan to fight the Moscow aligned forces in 2023 and has sent troops to Somalia to counter Russians there as well.

The rebels who toppled Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria received drones and other military support from Ukraine, David Ignatius writes in an article for The Washington Post , citing his sources.
“Ukrainian intelligence sent about 20 experienced drone operators and about 150 FPV drones to a rebel headquarters in Syria’s Idlib four to five weeks ago to help the leading rebel group based there, Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, people familiar with the matter said,” Ignatius writes.
He notes that Western intelligence estimates suggest that Ukrainian aid played a modest role in the overthrow of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. But it was important as part of Ukraine’s broader efforts to covertly target Russian operations in the Middle East, Africa and inside Russia itself.
Ignatius says Ukraine’s covert aid program in Syria was an “open secret,” even though senior Biden administration officials have repeatedly said they were unaware of it.
Earlier, Ukrainian media, citing intelligence sources, reported that “Syrian rebels, with the support of Ukrainian operatives, carried out numerous strikes on Russian military facilities present in the region.”
Russian officials have also been complaining for months about Ukraine’s militarized actions in Syria. Alexander Lavrentyev, Russia’s special representative for Syria, said in November that “Ukrainian intelligence officers are on the territory of Idlib.”
“Like Ukraine’s operations in Africa and the attack on the Kursk region inside Russia, the covert operation in Syria reflects an attempt to expand the battlefield – and to hurt the Russians where they are not ready. Ukraine’s aid was not the drone that broke the camel’s back, so to speak. But it helped, at least in a small way, to bring down Russia’s most important client in the Middle East,” the observer notes.
Andrey Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council, believes that the situation in Syria has forced Russia to urgently withdraw its military forces from bases in the country. These forces may end up at the front in Ukraine, but will not significantly affect the overall situation.
