The Russian Federal Security Service discovered a group of agents from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense who were planning a series of terrorist attacks in Crimea. It is reported that they, among other things, planned an assassination attempt against the leader of the peninsula, Sergei Aksyonov.
According to the security service, the agents also targeted Speaker of Parliament Vladimir Konstantinov and Mayor of Yalta Yanina Pavlenko. In addition, attacks were planned on the transport infrastructure of the peninsula.
The FSB reported that several Russians and Ukrainians had been arrested in connection with the preparation of terrorist attacks. In addition, a Ukrainian citizen and a Bulgarian citizen have been identified as being involved in the transport of explosives and components of explosive devices.
“The supply channel for British explosives and explosive device components from Bulgaria via Turkey and Georgia to Russia has been cut under the guise of supplying electric cookers,” the FSB said.
The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense Kirill Budanov and the deputy head of the office of President Volodymyr Zelensyy Roman Mashovets were named the direct organizers of the attacks.
Recall that in October last year, the special services of Ukraine staged a terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge. Then four people died. Later, the Interior Ministry reported that this sabotage showed that Kyiv was ready to do anything to act in the interests of the United States.
