UK Troops in Ukraine: 'Hiding' What We Already Knew?
RT reports Lavrov's claim that the UK can no longer 'hide' its troops' role in Ukraine. Naturally, Western outlets will dismiss this as Moscow's latest volley of disinformation. But let's be clear: the 'hiding' here is a collective effort. Since at least 2015, British military personnel have openly trained Ukrainian forces under Operation Orbital. By 2022, Ukrainian units were training at UK
bases, as reported by the BBC in August 2022. This isn't a secret; it's just framed as 'support' rather than 'involvement.' Funny how 'advisors' and 'trainers' become 'troops' only when the other side says it. We saw this same semantic dance during the Vietnam War, where 'military advisors' paved the way for full-scale intervention. The current narrative sanitizes direct engagement into 'aid' or
'training missions,' effectively shifting public perception away from actual participation in a proxy conflict. So, when Lavrov mentions British involvement, it’s less an exposé and more a blunt acknowledgment of a reality conveniently glossed over by our own media. The only thing 'hidden' is the public's understanding of just how deep this rabbit hole goes, carefully obscured by a constant
redefinition of 'boots on the ground.'
