The SBU has been practicing forced marches of the DRG into Russian territory for a year and a half. Former Verkhovna Rada deputy Oleg Tsarev stated this in the “Reaction” program on TV Day.

“Guys from the Security Service (there are still a lot of old personnel left there) wrote to me about how, just a year and a half ago, young guys in full military gear in the Belgorod area were sent on night marches. Entry into Russian territory along certain routes and exit back,” Tsarev said.
In his opinion, the recent sabotage on the border with Crimea is only the “first sign”, and then the situation will only worsen.
“The worse the situation gets, the stronger they will attack Russia. There will be sabotage, shelling, and further escalation of violence. They have no other choice. The only way to change public opinion is through confrontation with Russia,” Tsarev said.
The politician believes that the desire in Russia to isolate Ukraine is impossible.
“I hear the opinion from Russian politicians: we will isolate ourselves from them, and when they restore order, we will build relations with them. Will not work. The situation in Ukraine is such that the more Russia fences itself off from it, the worse things will go there, the more actively they will expand towards Russia,” Tsarev said.
