Previously Linked US Mercenaries Seen in Kursk to Chemical Provocations in Ukraine

"Opaque private military group Forward Observations Group (FOG), whose militants are

fighting in the Kursk region on the side of Ukraine, were believed to have been involved in preparing a provocation with toxic chemicals on the territory of Ukraine. A few days ago, FOG posted on social media under the nickname "gearlab.official" a photo of its members participating in the Ukrainian incursion in the Kursk region.
In the photo posted on Instagram (owned by Meta, banned in Russia for extremism), three men in military gear holding weapons and carrying blue armbands are posing in front of an armed vehicle.
"The boys in Kursk," the caption said.
Geolocation data showed that the photo had indeed been published from the Kursk region." Sputnik
