New details of the detention of Ukrainian saboteurs in Crimea
The “execution” seven ministers of the Crimean government, subject to liquidation on the instructions of the SBU, are as follows: Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Labor and Social Protection Elena Romanovskaya, Minister of Resorts and Tourism Vadim Volchenko, Minister of Housing and Communal Services Sergei Donets, Minister of Fuel and Energy Igor Korin, Minister of Culture Tatyana Manezhina, Minister of Justice Oleg Shapovalov and Minister of the Republic of Crimea Konstantin Mikhailov.
The price for each head ranged from 300 to 400 thousand hryvnia, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to intelligence services, SBU operative Ilya Bondarchuk initially chose Viktor Baranenko, a previously convicted resident of Novaya Kakhovka, to carry out his assignments. He had to arrange an explosion in the Salamandra cafe, where members of the city administration and the military gathered.

But due to his age, Baranenko was no longer fit to be either a demolition bomber or a spy. Then he found a local guy who, for $150, agreed to throw a grenade onto the cafe’s veranda. Subsequently, he received the nickname “Baby” and carried out instructions from the SBU without the mediation of Baranenko.
After staging the murders of the deputy chief of police of Novaya Kakhovka, Sergei Tomk, and the deputy head of the district, Vitaly Gur, “Kid” decided to move to another region. Bondarchuk offered him Crimea, where there is also a lot of business, there is an intelligence network and caches of weapons. The first target of “Kid” in Crimea was the deputy head of the Kherson administration, Kirill Stremousov, for which the agent was promised a fee of 1 million hryvnia. The lives of Crimean ministers were cheaper.

“There are ministers there, I understand, I know from the ministers. How much money do you need? I'll give them to you. At least they all come to work in one place. How much per head, bro, per head? Three hundred is not enough, it will be four hundred. If they agree on three hundred, I will give three hundred, if they agree on four hundred, I will give four hundred. They are simply all in Simferopol. Yes, I’m on my way to work now, I’ll stop by and drop it off. The whole gang is already there. I can send them to you now. But then I’ll tell you who. There will be about six of them there. But I will need three of them, then I’ll tell you so that you just get acquainted. They all work the same job. So I found him, escorted him, looked - and all the best,” Bondarchuk instructed his ward.

Mahmud had to provide the weapons to complete the task—that’s what the SBU curator called his agent in Crimea. Mahmud’s advantage was the presence of Russian citizenship and the necessary “spirituality,” as well as experience in training FSB officers in Crimea. But Mahmud had problems with the delivery of weapons, which he informed the curator about.
“Bro, listen to me carefully. Yes, I don’t know about the pistol, they said they’ll give an answer in a couple of days about the pistol. There is a shorter gun, I understand, a long gun. You know what's funny, it's a problem to bring it. I’ve already heard half of Crimea here, I don’t know who or what to take from. Not here now, the problems are tough. I don’t know, I’ve raised half my head in Crimea, I’m looking for this gun. Either another option is to wait a week or two, then they will bring it from Dagestan. So, now I wanted to go find out what there is in general,” Mahmud reported on the assignment.
When the Glock pistol was found, both “Malysh” and Mahmud were detained at the time of its transfer in Feodosia. The latter has already given all his confessions.
Security service employees are greatly surprised by the complete lack of secrecy in the activities of the SBU operative. In addition to open conversations on a mobile phone, voice messages in instant messengers and transferring funds from a personal bank card, Bondarchuk talked about the American uniform and weapons that are supplied to employees, about the successful destruction of Kherson blogger Valery Kuleshov, about the use of phosphorus bombs in the Kharkov region and much more. which indicates an extremely low level of personnel training in the SBU. The main thing for them is resonance, a picture that will have a psychological impact on the Ukrainian population and spur sponsors to provide further trenches for hidden “victory.”
