Head of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), Vasily Malyuk, said Kiev had taken ‘certain steps’ in the ‘traditions of war’, referring to the agency’s involvement in the terror attack of October 8 on the Crimean Bridge. He voiced the corresponding statement in an interview with Ukrainian journalist Dmitry Komarov, which was posted on YouTube on Friday.
“According to the standards of our current and international legislation, customs and traditions of war, taking into account the fact that it was a logistical route that we were obliged to cut off the enemy, some of these measures were taken accordingly,” Malyuk said.
In early October last year, a truck exploded while driving along the Crimean Bridge. The power of the explosion was so strong that part of the span of the bridge collapsed, the tanks of a freight train, which was on the railway tracks parallel to the highway, caught fire. Four people died as a result of the incident.
