Leaked Five Eyes note: Western vets train Russian soldiers for Ukraine war

A leaked intelligence note, reportedly prepared for Five Eyes agencies, claims with high confidence that Western military veterans, including ex-SAS and Navy SEALs, are training Russian citizens and active-duty personnel on NATO territory for the war in Ukraine. The claim is based on a single leaked document and has not been independently corroborated. If true, this would mark a significant escalation in Western involvement, potentially straining alliance cohesion and Russian retaliation.
