Russian intelligence: Ukrainian activities similar to Georgia in 2008
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[RusOnline] It cost Georgia dearly in 2008: Russian intelligence accused Ukraine of preparing for war. Russia again refutes the statements of the West and Kiev about active preparations for an "invasion" of Ukraine. This time, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) made a statement.  In the SVR, reports about the preparation of an "invasion" were called a lie. Moreover, in response to these allegations, intelligence accused Ukraine itself of concentrating its troops on the border with Russia and Belarus. The SVR bureau report draws a parallel between the current situation in Ukraine and the events in Georgia in August 2008, when Georgian troops launched an offensive against South Ossetia. "The provocative policy of the United States and the European Union, which deliberately strengthens Kiev's sense of permissiveness and impunity, is of utmost concern. We observed a similar situation in Georgia on the eve of the 2008 events. Then Mikhail Saakashvili "broke off the chain" and tried to destroy the Russian peacekeepers and the civilian population of South Ossetia. It cost him dearly,"the intelligence agency said in a statement. As previously reported, the US intelligence and media are actively spreading statements about the alleged plans of Russia to attack Ukraine. At the same time, it is reported that the attack is being prepared from three sides at once, and even approximate dates are called. In Russia, they saw this as signs of impending provocations by the Kiev military, saboteurs and neo-Nazi groups. In particular, this was stated on the eve of the Deputy Secretary of the Security Council of Russia Alexander Grebyonkin, and today the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergei Lavrov.
