Russian secret services make systemic efforts in Ukraine

The secret services of the Russian Federation monitor issues in Ukraine and region to find bases for provocations.

This was announced by Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) Head Vasyl Hrytsak during briefing on May 15, Censor.NET reports citing Gordon.

"We see a system -- not just single cases in a certain city or an event dedicated to something. We see systemic efforts of these secret services," Hrytsak said.

SBU head added that Russian secret services usually use methods like recruiting people from among patriotic citizens, and infiltrating their own sources in patriotic circles.

"Russian secret services conduct dense monitoring of our state and regional issues that are later used as a basis for holding events aimed at destabilization of the situation," he said.

The document instructs the militants to stop OSCE patrols.

"To ban monitors from passing if they follow 'unplanned routes,' not to communicate with SMM members, and answer "I am not entitled to explain" if asked anything by SMM," the instructions read as quoted by the OSCE press service.

As reported, a United States national was killed in OSCE SUV blast April 23 near the village of Pryshyb in the militants-held territory of Ukraine's eastern Luhansk region. Two more monitors, nationals of Germany and the Czech Republic, were injured. The U.S. State Department said the tragedy "was inexcusable" and promised to punish the guilty.
