Brfittiska UD varnar för Putins ukrainska quislingar

Brittiska UD gjorde igår ett officiellt uttalande som kanske inte är så diplomatiskt - men desto viktigare att sprida i den fria världen...

Brittiska underrättelsekällor har fått tag på en lista över ett antal ukrainska quislingar som Putin just nu använder till att planera en rysk ockupation av Ukraina. Sannolikt tänker han installera dem som makthavare i Sovjet-Ukraina efter ockupationen....

Sug på den karamellen, ni politiker.

 

Press release

Kremlin plan to install pro-Russian leadership in Ukraine exposed

Foreign Secretary statement on Kremlin plan to install pro-Russian leadership in Ukraine exposed

We have information that indicates the Russian Government is looking to install a pro-Russian leader in Kyiv as it considers whether to invade and occupy Ukraine. The former Ukrainian MP Yevhen Murayev is being considered as a potential candidate.

We have information that the Russian intelligence services maintain links with numerous former Ukrainian politicians including:

  • Serhiy Arbuzov, First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine from 2012-2014, and acting Prime Minister in 2014
  • Andriy Kluyev, First Deputy Prime Minister from 2010-2012 and Chief of Staff to former Ukrainian President Yanukovich
  • Vladimir Sivkovich, former Deputy Head of the Ukrainian National Security and Defence Council (RNBO)
  • Mykola Azarov, Prime Minister of Ukraine from 2010-2014

Some of these have contact with Russian intelligence officers currently involved in the planning for an attack on Ukraine.

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said:

The information being released today shines a light on the extent of Russian activity designed to subvert Ukraine, and is an insight into Kremlin thinking.

Russia must de-escalate, end its campaigns of aggression and disinformation, and pursue a path of diplomacy. As the UK and our partners have said repeatedly, any Russian military incursion into Ukraine would be a massive strategic mistake with severe costs.

The UK’s position on Ukraine is also clear. We unequivocally support its sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders, including Crimea. Ukraine is an independent, sovereign country.
