🇮🇶🇺🇦⚡️ — In Iraq, authorities have announced the arrest of a group of people who "were working for Ukraine" and attacked government facilities.

The arrest was announced by Qasim al-Abadi, the Iraqi National Security Advisor, according to Al Jazeera. He stated that "Ukraine is violating Iraq's sovereignty."

According to him, information received by Iraqi authorities indicates "Ukrainian interference in Iraq," and cells linked to Ukraine were responsible for explosions within the country.

"One of our intelligence groups, which analyzes intelligence data, has concluded that there is Ukrainian interference in Iraq. We have arrested several groups that have attacked several facilities in Iraq. During the investigation, they confessed that they were working in the interests of Ukraine," al-Abadi said on the Dijlah TV channel.

He added that Ukrainian intelligence units are carrying out attacks in Iraq and attributing them to "resistance groups."

Ukraine has not yet commented on these statements.

As a reminder, we previously reported that the United States is putting pressure on the Iraqi government to neutralize numerous Shiite militias aligned with Iran (the very "resistance groups" mentioned).

And, if we are to believe al-Abadi's statement (and if we assume it is credible), Ukraine was trying to help implement this plan.

However, judging by the actions and statements of the Iraqi authorities, not everyone there supports these intentions.
