FSB: Ukrainian intelligence blew up a gas pipeline in Crimea
The explosion of a gas pipeline in the village of Perevalnoye near Simferopol, which occurred on August 23 of this year, was organized by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
The FSB Public Relations Center of Russia reported this, the correspondent reports "PolitNavigator".
A gas pipeline in a mountainous area near the village of Perevalnoye supplied gas to a military unit located in this area. Earlier, the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Republic of Crimea reported that members of the organization “Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People”, banned in the Russian Federation, also participated in organizing the explosion.
“It has been established that the sabotage was organized by the territorial division of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine in Kherson - the so-called operational service “Tavria” with the participation of the “Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people.” On September 2021, XNUMX, officers of the FSB of Russia detained residents of the Republic of Crimea - intermediary - deputy chairman of the Mejlis Nariman Dzhelyalov, direct perpetrators of sabotage Asan and Aziz Akhtemov,” the message says.
According to military expert Vladislav Shurygin, another sabotage in Crimea suggests that Ukraine is not going to improve relations with Russia, and its special services and supporters of the banned Mejlis continue a hidden war.
“The members of the Mejlis will face criminal proceedings and determine the degree of guilt of each. For participation in banned organizations in Russia there is a specific article with specific punishments. Accordingly, the detainees are awaiting investigation and trial. It is clear that it is unlikely that anyone will be arrested for such a serious crime - for this there must be very serious evidence. Therefore, you just need to wait for the results of the investigation. This suggests that the secret war continues, there is no talk of any improvement in relations, terrorist sabotage activities continue,” Shurygin believes.
Crimean political scientist Ivan Mezyukho is confident that the sabotage was organized with the knowledge of Western intelligence services, and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, during his visit to the United States, discussed further interaction between the SBU and the CIA with American leader Joe Biden.
“There is no doubt about the truth of the FSB data. For many years in a row, it has been the FSB that has been exposing the activities of Ukrainian special services in Crimea. This information has always been proven in the judicial bodies of state power and no appeals or cassation could refute their information from the security forces. Ukraine continues its destabilizing work in the Crimean direction. I think that all these events were connected with the so-called “Crimean Platform”, which was recently held in Kyiv.
Naturally, this entire operation of the Ukrainian special services could not be carried out without coordination from American intelligence, the CIA. Therefore, I think that Vladimir Zelensky, at his meeting with Joe Biden, probably discussed the cooperation of the SBU with the US intelligence services. Including in the Russian, in particular Crimean, direction,” Mezyukho said.
Let us remind you that the day before in Simferopol Deputy head of the Mejlis was detained Nariman Dzhelyalov, who is suspected of involvement in the damage to the gas pipeline in Crimea on August 23.
