    Just to add:

    • Syria: they also allowed Russian Islamic extremists to go fight in Syria rather than cause trouble in Russia - some of them reportedly joined ISIS
    • Dagestan
    • Sudan/Darfur
    • disproportionate recruitment of Muslim minorities for the Ukrainian front
    • violent repression of Muslim minorities
    • involvement in the Sahel + helping military regimes in Niger/Mali/Burkino Faso fight ISIS affiliated groups
    • Afghanistan: ISIS have previously attacked the Russian embassy there, saying the Taliban aren’t radicals and are Russian puppets.
    • Iran: ISIS has perpetrated attacks in Iran, hates the Iranian regime. Iran is a Russian ally and provides them with drones for Ukraine, Russia in turn supports Iran.

    Etc. etc. etc.
