The Ministry of Internal Affairs is getting out of it: the killers of policemen from “Tornado” and “UPA” are turning into ... “terrorists from Vinnitsa”

The criminals, detained for the murder of two policemen, arrived in the capital from Vinnitsa on the eve of the May holidays in order to commit a terrorist attack.

This was announced by Deputy Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Vasily Paskal.

The press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs noted that thanks to the professional and coordinated actions of law enforcement agencies, the commission of a terrorist act in the city of Kyiv during the May holidays was prevented.

According to Pascal, the attackers arrived in the capital from Vinnitsa on the eve of the May holidays in order to commit a terrorist attack.

“On May 1, their criminal plan was not realized thanks to the well-organized work to protect public order by law enforcement officers and the public. But the attackers did not abandon their plan and planned to carry out their criminal intent on May 8-9,” Pascal noted.

As a reminder, on the night of May 4, two masked men , threatening a gas station with a gun, attacked a gas station in the Desnyansky district of Kyiv. The attackers wounded a gas station attendant in the arm and stole approximately 800 hryvnias from the cash register. During the pursuit of the suspects, two special forces police officers were killed, and three law enforcement officers are hospitalized in serious condition.

Later, Minister Arsen Avakov reported on Facebook that the criminals were involved with the Interior Ministry's special forces unit "Tornado" and the "UPA" battalion.

According to the newspaper “Vesti” , the night murder was the work of neo-Nazis from the “Azov” regiment.

At the end of the day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ attempt to hush up the scandal and shift the focus on mythical “terrorists” became obvious. Reports about the involvement of the killers in “Azov”, “Tornado” and “UPA” disappeared from official reports.
