He said: “The criminals intended to escape across the border into the territory of Ukraine. According to our initial field information, there were those waiting for them (…) They on the other side wanted to welcome them as heroes.”
Bortnikov stated that it has not yet been determined who requested this crime to be carried out, “but the Russian security services see who organized and recruited the perpetrators.”
He also claimed that Ukraine is preparing and training militants in the Middle East, and that the presence of people of different nationalities fighting on the front once morest Russia is an indication of this.
He said that the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) should be classified as a “terrorist organization.”
