“Russia has deeply wedged its pincers” – a member of the Ukrainian parliament
The Russian Federation has enough agents in the Ukrainian authorities, which Moscow has acquired in previous years.
The PolitNavigator correspondent reports this in an interview published by the anti-Russian propaganda publication Novoye Vremya,” said the Secretary of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence, a participant in the punitive operation against the LDPR, Roman Kostenko.
The publication noted that last week SBU reported on the arrest a Russian agent who turned out to be the former commander of the Air Force special operations center and who later worked in the Ochakovo City Council.
“Yes, it was in Ochakov, Nikolaev region. Shevchenko surname. He was the commander of this unit, 73 special operations centers - combat swimmers, Navy SEALs. From 2014 he fought, and then, allegedly in 2018, he was fired.
Now the Security Service of Ukraine has charged him with treason and collaboration with the enemy. Found that it was a very good job. I am familiar with some of the facts of this work,” the deputy said.
According to him, the SBU department in the Nikolaev region, which was involved in this case, played a great role.
The Secretary of the Rada Defense Committee was asked how many Russian agents there might be in Ukrainian structures.
“Is it a lot? I won't say it's a lot. But I am sure that Russia strongly wedged its pincers in Soviet times and over the 30 years of independence both in our government bodies and in the security forces. I think it will take more than one year before we track them all down and eradicate them,” Kostenko concluded.
