What CaptCalhoun said, but I’ll add that there’s suspicion that the WH are actually just a propaganda wing of ISIS/ISIL, who use humanitarian work to convert people into followers of their cause. With how the internet is, it’s really hard to find sources that you saw years ago and didn’t save, but I remember seeing some pictures where white helmets were matched up with identical pictures of themselves in ISIS/ISIL brigades.
Which, should that be true, would make it make total sense that they’d be reaching out to Ukraine. Before long we might start seeing Azov doing hearts and minds campaigns in the same way WH does.
When the Syrian Army started liberating towns and cities, they would routinely find White Helmets HQs next to ISIS HQs. Also WH buildings were full of guns and ISIS flags.
