Ukraine's security service said on Thursday it had blocked channels being used by terrorists traveling to fight with Daesh [the Arabic acronym for the terrorist "ISIS" group] and detained an "Daesh recruiter" from one of the former Soviet republics.


Ukraine Says Blocked Terrorist Routes to Syria

"The Ukranian security service, prosecutor's office, police and migration service have blocked several channels for the transit of foreign fighters to Daesh international terrorist group through our state's territory," the Security Service of Ukraine [SBU] said in a statement.

The discovery was made in a wave of security sweeps across several major cities.

The SBU said an apartment in the government-held northeastern city of Kharkiv was being used as a temporary shelter by alleged Daesh members who intended to travel to both Syria and Iraq.

"This 'transit point' had four foreign nationals from Central Asian states," it said.

"Two of them had been earlier deported from Turkey in connection with their involvement in terrorist activity."
