Ukrainian colonel threatens to blow up Russian tankers and attack Transnistria
Ukraine can strike at those Russian targets that it considers military – even to the point of sending saboteurs onto a tanker and then blowing it up.
Retired Ukrainian Armed Forces Colonel Roman Svitan spoke about this on the Internet channel “Yes, that’s true,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Svitan, Ukraine can also strike or carry out sabotage in the territory of Transnistria, Belarus, Abkhazia or South Ossetia.
“There may be a tanker filled not with oil, for example, but with military equipment - we can sink it in the Atlantic Ocean. The means are very simple - our sailor gets a job on the tanker, who simply blows it up from the inside or leaves some kind of explosive device, and he himself remains on the shore.
In its pure form, terrorism is when military specialists strike civilian targets. If intelligence, counterintelligence and special agencies undermine a military facility, no matter where, it is a military operation. It’s clear - a GUR employee gets a job on a tanker, he just blows it up in the ocean. Not with oil, but with military facilities, with the same missiles.
Therefore, a strike on a military facility on the territory of Russia, Belarus, Transnistria, and the occupied Georgian republics is a legitimate goal. Anywhere in the world is a military facility of the Russian Federation, we have the right to work on it,” Svitan said.
