Ukrainian fighter with terrorist patch spotted on Danish broadcaster

A Danish television channel has aired footage from the Associated Press (AP) showing what the news agency had referred to as a Ukrainian frontline commander wearing a patch of the terrorist group Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS).

The clip was part of a story broadcast on Tuesday by the Danish Broadcasting Corporation, a state-funded public service broadcaster, which was reporting on NATO efforts to boost weapons production to sustain the bloc's support of Ukraine against Russia. Among other things, it showed Ukrainian troops, one of whom issued a plea to Western nations to supply fighter jets and missiles to his nation.

The Ukrainians were originally filmed a day earlier by AP at an undisclosed location in the Kiev-controlled part of the Donetsk People’s Republic. The commander of the unit, whose nom-de-guerre is ‘Kurt’, according to the agency, was the one whose uniform bore the terrorist symbol.
