Moscow demands that Ukraine stop mocking the memory of the Soviet intelligence legend
The Russian Foreign Ministry demands that the Ukrainian authorities punish the vandals who mock the grave of the legendary Soviet intelligence officer Nikolai Kuznetsov in Lviv on the Hill of Glory, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova told reporters about this today.
“We again demand that the Kyiv authorities investigate all facts of desecration, find and punish those responsible, and take measures to prevent such incidents,” Zakharova said.
According to her, an extremist organization banned in Russia painted over the inscription on the grave and qualified it as a congratulation on the day of the liberation of Lvov. Previously, “Enemy of the UPA” was written on Kuznetsov’s grave, and the fence was stolen from it. In Ukraine, several monuments to the intelligence officer were destroyed, and the city named in his honor was renamed.
