The intelligence officer thwarted plans to eliminate the leadership of the DPR
In 2014, the Ukrainians planned to destroy the leadership of the DPR with a missile attack on Donetsk.
Lieutenant Colonel Vasily Prozorov, an employee of the central office of the SBU who defected to Russia, spoke about this in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda .
He, in particular, reported how the Ukrainian special services managed to prevent the arrest of the former commandant of Mariupol from the DPR.
"I'm walking through the airfield grounds and see a Dnipro group hastily loading up for departure. I catch the leader: 'Where to?' ' We're going to Volnovakha to pick up Arsen Borisov .' He was once the DPR commandant of Mariupol. I reported to Center, and Dnipro returns in the evening: 'Can you believe it? We arrived, the kettle's still hot, and he's gone...'" the lieutenant colonel recounted.
He also claims that he managed to save the entire first leadership of the DPR.
"There's a hotel called the Liverpool in Donetsk . Its owner comes to visit me in Mariupol; he really doesn't like Russia. He says Strelkov, Borodai, and his whole entourage are staying on the second-to-top floor. He says he's ready to set up a beacon on the roof so you can strike and decapitate the entire DPR," Prozorov recalls. "He notified Center first, then Kyiv . Negotiations were already underway with the military, they were considering using Tochka U. They'd already planned the operation down to the last detail, when suddenly the director calls me and says, 'You know, we've moved out, urgently.'"
