Ukrainian mufti: Russia finances ISIS
Kyiv, January 19 (PolitNavigator, Vladimir Raichenko) – Russia is involved in the creation and financing of both ISIS and the DPR and LPR.
This assumption was made by the mufti of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Ukraine “Ummah”, Said Ismagilov, in an interview with the Kyiv weekly Focus.

“By the way, if we are talking about the Islamic State, which, in fact, is neither Islamic nor a state, then the Syrian civilians with whom I was able to talk are sure that this is an artificially created terrorist enclave financed from Russia,” says the mufti . – I cannot confirm this, but this is the opinion of ordinary people. When I ask about the details, what is described painfully reminds me of the “DPR” and “LPR”, which I, as a resident of the Donetsk region, observed with my own eyes. Only adjusted for the Muslim mentality. The time periods for the creation of this enclave are the same. Very similar model. One is being made for Islam in the Middle East, the other is being made for Orthodoxy in the Donbass.”
As PolitNavigator previously reported, Said Ismagilov previously claimed that ethnic Ukrainians are beginning to develop a hatred for their country.
