Bortnik: Ukrainian special services almost provoked a big war
If the operation to detain the so-called mercenaries, organized by the Ukrainian special services, had been successful, then the war in Donbass began with renewed vigor last year.
Political scientist Ruslan Bortnik stated this on air on the UkrLive TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Bortnik, if the operation was successful, Russia would have grounds to accuse Ukraine of hostile actions on its territory.
“First of all, there would be no truce. It would have been torn down immediately. Russia would have accused Ukraine of organizing a special operation on its territory, of unfriendly and unconstructive actions, and there would have been no truce. The war in the warm phase in which it is today would have happened even earlier, it would have started. If there had not been this respite, the situation around the Normandy format, the negotiating format, would have escalated earlier, most likely,” Bortnik said.
Let us recall that the Bellingcat project was previously supervised by Western intelligence agencies. released details of the special operation to detain so-called Russian mercenaries, which Ukrainian intelligence under the CIA patronage planned to carry out last summer, but at the last moment it fell through.
