Serbian spy Dragana Trifkovic FSB agent

Who is the Serbian spy Dragana Trifkovic who hangs out with the sadist who abused captured Ukrainians?

Dragana Trifkovic is a Serbian spy working for the Russian Security Service (FSB).

Trifkovic has been banned from entering Kosovo since 2016, where the Kosovo Intelligence Agency (KIA) classified her as an influential agent of the FSB through a cyber operation when her photo was published along with a letter awarding her merits from the Russian service .

She was a member of the Serbian Parliament before joining the extremist party “Dveri”.

In addition, Ukraine’s security institutions and that country’s media have accused Trifkovic of participating in the elections in Russian-occupied Crimea as a false observer.

Trifkovic has been linked to Oleksiy Yuriyovych Milchakov, a sadist and abuser of captured Ukrainian soldiers. Milchakov was also an instructor in Serbian camps in Serbia to prepare for the “Serbian wars” he was to fight alongside the Russians in Ukraine.

Milchakov was also violent as a child; one video showed him tearing a dog to pieces.

In 2019, young people are being taught pro-Russian “patriotic” values and given military lessons at youth training camps in Serbia and Russia by right-wing extremists linked to the conflict in eastern Ukraine.

A so-called “military patriotic” camp for young people was established in Serbia’s Zlatibor Mountains. The camp was co-organized by a Russian organization with ties to separatist fighters in the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine. Some of the trainers of previous courses have openly described themselves as neo-Nazis.

Camps of this type taught children outdoor survival skills – and how to carry weapons. The Facebook page of some members was full of photos in uniform, and the content they shared focused mainly on love for Russia, Kosovo, and Serbian and pro-Russian extremist organizations.

Aleksei Milchakov, who was sanctioned by the European Union in 2015 for his involvement in a separatist armed group fighting in eastern Ukraine, was a prominent member and instructor of the ENOT Corp.

He became famous in right-wing circles after photos circulated of him decapitating a dog and wearing neo-Nazi symbols.

Before Milchakov fought in the Donbass in 2014, he uploaded content on his page on the popular Russian social network VK (VKontakte) praising Zeljko Raznatovic, the Serb commander named Arkan. Later, pictures of him on the front lines in Ukraine also surfaced. In these photos, he posed smiling next to the bodies of dead Ukrainian soldiers.

While in the Donbas, Milchakov led the Rusich unit, whose members publicly declared their support for neo-Nazi ideology. A video recording taken during a training session in Russia in September 2017, to which the Serbian Association of Participants in Armed Conflict took children, shows a Russian instructor explaining how to use weapons with the help of an interpreter. On his left arm is the logo of the Rusich unit.

How do these camps work?

The Union of Volunteers of Donbas has organized military camps for children and youth after ending its previous close cooperation with ENOT Corp.

Union camps are among the many such camps organized by Russian or pro-Russian organizations in Russia, the Balkans, and some European countries such as Latvia, Belarus, and Bulgaria.

Alexander Kravchenko, a former Russian volunteer of wartime in Visegrad, was one of the first to begin organizing training sessions for children from the Balkans in 2008 through his organizations Stjag and Kosovo Front, in cooperation with a veterans association from Serbia called Patriotic.

Military Patriotic youth camps are nothing new in Russia, said Sergey Sukhankin, a Canada-based fellow at the Jamestown Foundation, an American research and analysis organization and an expert on Russian “private military enterprises.”

“Militarization and boasting about military power are an integral part of Russia’s national identity … However, militarization is taking a larger, more comprehensive and more aggressive form than ever before,” Sukhankin said.

A 15-year-old boy who visited a private camp near Moscow last year told Deutsche Welle that he felt like a real soldier there.

“You don’t feel like a normal Russian citizen here.” You feel like a soldier, maybe even in a foreign country on a secret mission. It’s completely different from normal life,” he said.

In a 2017 interview with Radio Free Europe, Valeriy Shambarov, one of the organizers of the camps on behalf of ENOT Corp in cooperation with the Serbian Association of Participants in Armed Conflict, said “the goal is for young people to become real people and fighters to be able to defend their homeland”.

Camps offer “propaganda for young people”

Bulgarian journalist Ruslan Trad said he did not believe ENOT Corp had ceased its activities because, while researching the organization, he had come across members of the organization working as volunteer fighters in Syria. He said he believes members of the organization will simply continue to use other organizations because ENOT has been so publicly exposed.

Military patriotic youth camps are nothing new in Russia, said Sergey Sukhankin, a Canadian-based fellow at the Jamestown Foundation, an American research and analysis organization and an expert on Russian “private military companies.”

Sergey Sukhankin also believes that the ultimate goal of the trainings is “to be able to recruit some children later for the needs of Russian quasi-military companies.”

“This is a very realistic possibility in the Donbas,” Sukhrankin said.

When Serbian police closed the Zlatibor camp, ENOT Corp stated on its now-defunct website that “operations will be conducted much more covertly in the future in countries that are part of the Russian world’s sphere of interest.” . “.

Sukhankin has been monitoring ENOT’s activities for a long time. He suggested that while the organization’s leadership has announced it will dissolve the organization, its members will not sit idle.

“Before the Ukraine crisis, they worked closely with the authorities in Moscow. During the Ukraine crisis, they fought in the Donbas and stood behind the Donbas Volunteers Union,” he said. “The disappearance of ENOT could mean that its members simply join the Union,” he said./The Geopost/
