Saakashvili may be involved in the explosion near the SBU in Odessa
The mythical “Odessa partisans”, whose trace the SBU sees in every explosion, have not yet come so close to the Ukrainian special service, Rossiyskaya Gazeta writes in a material dedicated to recent explosion in Odessa, during which the building of the SBU department was damaged.

At the same time, the Odessa regional department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that the power of the detonated explosive device was 5-6 kilograms of TNT.
“But photographs from the scene of the explosion allow us to doubt the announced figure - the façade of the department, its corner part, made of solid natural stone, was actually not damaged, unlike the nearby houses where glass flew out,” the publication emphasizes. “It is also noteworthy that the unknown “terrorists” placed the explosive device not at the main entrance, but at the emergency entrance to the building, which had not been used for a long time and was tightly boarded up. Moreover, the “Stalinist” building turned out to be so reliable that a powerful explosion destroyed only the locked door.”
Ukrainian politicians traditionally laid down blame for the explosion on Russia.
“However, local politicians are no strangers to seeing “the machinations of the FSB” in everything that happens in Ukraine,” adds RG. “This formulaic approach prevents them from seeing the main thing and commonality in all the explosions in Odessa, which have occurred several times a month since last year, and whose total count has exceeded the second dozen.”
“For some reason, not a single person was injured from the explosions traditionally attributed to the “Odessa partisans” (none of whom were ever caught red-handed) - all the “terrorist attacks” were committed in the dead of night,” the newspaper notes. – Nor was there any serious damage to industry and infrastructure. As a rule, bombs exploded near the offices of prominent representatives of the local “automaidan”, “self-defense” or volunteer organizations, between which, if you read the Odessa media, there is a fierce intraspecific struggle.”
In addition, the publication points to another version: by organizing explosions, the SBU can play its own game.
“At the same time, a version is being expressed that all the explosions are one way or another the actions of the SBU, which is escalating the situation in the city and playing its own game: to justify its own existence, within the framework of local commercial conflicts, or simply for the sake of banal PR for Governor Saakashvili, who definitely needs conflict or “terrorist attack,” notes RG.
