The United States National Security Council (NSC) has devised a series of strategies for Ukrainian forces to use in fighting against the Russian troops to prolong the war, newly leaked documents revealed.
NSC experts devised secret terror blueprints, including improvised explosive device (IED) inspired by Iraqi insurgents to sabotage Russia’s infrastructure to propaganda “from ISIS’ playbook,” according to the documents published on Saturday.
The documents reveal NSC created a “playbook” of extreme terror operations for Ukrainian forces to use in fighting against Russia.
The documents reviewed by The Grayzone show how a group of academics and military-intelligence operatives, some of them assigned to the NSC from other US government agencies, including the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, the State Department, and the Pentagon laid out schemes which would lead to the US “helping Ukraine resist” against the superior Russian troops.
The plans devised by the NSC for Ukraine also aimed to “prolong” the US-led collective West’s proxy war “by virtually any means short of American and NATO forces deploying to Ukraine or attacking Russia.”
The terror operations included covert military action and psychological operations targeting Russian civilians, with the NSC experts explicitly stating, “We need to take a page from ISIS’ playbook.”
Planting “smart” bombs on Russian trains, railways and power plants and other civilian targets were included in the NSC terror playbook.
Ukrainian forces repeatedly crossed Russia’s clearly stated red lines by enacting the terror operations given in the NSC playbook’s instructions.
Other terror operations cited in the playbook were “cyberattacks on Russia by ‘patriotic hackers’ with deniability,” and flooding Kiev with “unmanned combat air vehicles.”
NSC suggested providing extensive training to “Ukrainian expatriates” in using Javelin and Stinger missiles.
The NSC experts handed the plans directly to Col. Tim Wright, who was then the Director for Russia in the Biden administration’s National Security Council. The terror plans were outsourced through third parties to ensure “plausible deniability.”
