Chief of Ukraine’s SBU Security Service Vasyl Hrytsak has asked chief of Russia’s Federal Security Service Aleksandr Bortnikov to curtail special operations [in Ukraine] aimed at destabilizing the situation in Ukraine and Russia.
“I appeal to you as an officer. There are rules even in war which should not be broken by secret service agents. You have transgressed all these rules,” Hrytsak said on Sept. 3 evening during an interview with Ukrainian Priamy TV Channel.
“You and I both know Russian secret service agents were involved in terrorist acts committed in Odesa, Kharkiv, Kherson and other cities. Dozens of people died as a result. But this time you have broken all the rules and are prepared to destabilize the situation in Russia in order to justify invading Ukraine in a massive military campaign,” Hrytsak said.
“Do you realize what geopolitical consequences these actions may have? Do you realize that you will be forced to answer for your actions? It is in your power to stop it. So, stop it now,” he said.
As earlier reported, Hrytsak on August 17 said Ukrainian security services had learned Russia intended to send groups to Ukraine in order to launch terrorist attacks.
