“The criminals were preparing for the physical elimination of the Minister of Defense and the head of the Main Intelligence Agency of our state, as well as a well-known Ukrainian activist.”
The Ukrainian Security Service revealed that for the murder of each of the Ministers, the Russian “curators” would pay a bounty in the amount of $100,000 to $150,000.
The intelligence group said that the hit squad was formed by Russian military intelligence personnel to carry out subversive activities in Ukraine.
The report stated, “It includes a resident of temporarily occupied Luhansk, who, as part of the illegal armed formations of the terrorist organization ‘LPR’, actively participated in hostilities against the ATO forces in the east.
“On the instructions of the coordinator from Moscow, it was he who, using his connections among criminal circles, was looking for a killer to commit contract killings.”
The SBU said that a resident of Kyiv responded to this offer, for $5,000 he agreed to liquidate the Ukrainian military.
The Ukrainian Security Service said, “This murder should become a ‘test trial’ before performing the main tasks of the enemy.
“And for an attempt on the heads of defense departments, liaison decided to personally arrive at the territory controlled by the Ukrainian authorities.
“Here, together with an accomplice, they had to prepare a plan for ‘liquidation’ and submit it for approval to their leaders in Russia.”
They said that the lawbreaker had masked the routes of movement, so he entered Ukraine through the territory of Belarus, the SBU officers documented his arrival in Volyn region through Domanovo checkpoint and a meeting with an accomplice.
They said, “In order to prevent the commission of particularly serious crimes, counterintelligence officers of the Security Service with the involvement of soldiers of the Center of Special Operations ‘A’ detained both intruders in Kovel.
“During the search, the liaison found evidence of criminal acts, as well as a passport of a Russian citizen.
“Both detainees were notified of suspicion of high treason committed under martial law and premeditated murder. The issue of choosing a preventive measure in the form of detention is being resolved.”
Measures to expose crimes were carried out by employees of the Main Directorate of the SBU in Kyiv and Kyiv region together with the units of the SBU of Volyn region, the National Police and with the procedural leadership of Pechersky District prosecutor’s office of Kyiv.
