“Zvezda” of the Ukrainian TV channel “1+1” turned out to be a secret agent of the SBU
85-year-old prisoner Mehdi Logunov from Kharkov, who was accused of working for the Russian GRU, was released by exchange from Ukrainian dungeons and spoke about how SBU officers brought charges against him, hinting at the possibility of paying off, and one of the most famous reporters helped the “werewolves in uniform.” TV channel "1+1" Andrey Tsaplienko.
Logunov voiced such details on the YouTube channel “ATO Donetsk,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“There was an interview. At the very beginning, they invited me from the “1+1” channel, they have this journalist Andrey Tsaplienko, he’s not even a provocateur, he’s just an SBU employee who tried to interview me. But in that interview I only said what I considered necessary. At the end of the interview, he asked the question that, as I understood, interested them most: “Please tell me, did you receive $30 million from South Africa into your accounts?” I laughed and said that this was confidential information. They were interested in whether I had money.
Yes, I had money in Europe, I worked in Europe, I had two companies in Slovakia, a company in Germany, and I dealt with the problem of recycling TB and industrial waste, this has been my specialty since 1992. They opened my mail, listened to all my telephone and Skype conversations, and the negotiations were purely business, I had up to a hundred companies in touch - European, Chinese, American, South African and others.
And when they discovered that the total investments in joint projects amounted to more than 80 million euros, they were simply blown away! And when they saw a payment in my mail that five and a half million dollars had been deposited into the accounts of our Slovak company, they decided that they would put my grandfather in jail, my grandfather would sit in prison and give them all the money, just so as not to go to jail.
But no, grandfather won’t give anything away, because you can’t satiate them, and secondly, I simply refused to communicate with them,” Logunov said.
“I was imprisoned when I was 83 years old, I had already acquired some illnesses, the conditions were difficult. Although, I will say, all this junior staff - warrant officers, sergeants, guards and others treated me extremely correctly, I don’t know why. Nobody believed that I was a spy and intelligence officer.
Moreover, it happened that I was walking, and prisoners shouted to me from the windows: “Grandfather, hold on! Grandfather, don’t give up!”, and these guards themselves sometimes asked: “Grandpa, when will they let you out? When will you be exchanged?
But I didn’t talk to the operas. They demanded that I write an application for pardon six or seven times, I refused six or seven times - I was not guilty of anything, nothing could be proven,” recalled a former prisoner of the Bandera regime.
“In prison, I wrote a number of appeals to various European and Ukrainian authorities, I wrote to prosecutors, I wrote to the Supreme Court and the military prosecutor - in short, Ukraine is a sub-state, it is a system or structure that has rotted from the very beginning.
It is all built on corruption, on cutting the budget. When they presented it to me, this is called a pre-trial investigation or something like that, when I began to read - and these are 8 volumes, 1312 pages, half of which are double-sided, that is, about 1800 pages - I read all this carefully and saw that they had , in essence, there is not a single fact about me. That I handed over some military secrets somewhere, although the military secrets of Ukraine had long been sold and transferred to someone who only paid the money. There has been nothing to sell here for a long time,” concluded Mehdi Logunov, recalling how Kyiv previously sold an unfinished aircraft carrier to China for next to nothing, and missile technology to North Korea.
