This article contains a translation of Robert Mood from no.wikipedia.

Having so far only translated this article from the Norwegian (Bokmål) Wikipedia I want to make readers aware that I have served under Mood for 9 months in 1987 when he was a captain and company leader of Company B/BN2/BRIG N. __

Having just declared Robert Mood a traitor to his nation I want to emphasize the caveat lector I have already stated. I didn't actually come to this conclusion until tonight (and although I'm not going to discuss any details of my sudden realization here, those who wish to read it can find it on my Facebook profile), so any past edits to this article ought not to have been tinged by this opinion. As for my future involvement with this article, I have some work planned that will be entirely based on reliable sources, and I believe I have the ability to suppress my personal opinion when making edits to controversial topics, as I have on a number of other subjects I have contributed to in the past. Nevertheless, let it be clear that I hold a very low opinion of my former commander, so the more intensely scrutinized my edits are by fellow Wikipedians and other observers, the less chance that Wikipedia's integrity, via the present article, will be compromised. __

This article cites a Jordanian UN observer in Syria for the accusation made in the headline. The claims are that Mood is driving around visiting military installations with no apparent connection to the ongoing fighting, including Tartus where the Russian naval base is located.

This source, being an op-ed article is on the premises ineligible as a

This appears to be the source which the RT article cites and refers to as "Syrian state media". __

And this is probably the original English-language news story about these claims. Note that it was published in Jun 13 whereas the RT article was published on June 19.
