The SBU continues to insist: Crimean battalion commander Krasnov was Putin’s agent
The leader of the Crimea battalion, Stanislav Krasnov, who was detained by Ukrainian security forces, but then released by the court, was indeed a “Russian agent.” About this on the air of the talk show “People. Hard Talk,” said the head of the SBU Vasily Gritsak.

According to him, Krasnov had been “led” since 2014 and during a search of his apartment, several kilograms of explosives, detonators and weapons were found.
“Let's remember the very revealing case of Krasnov, which is already being heard in court. There was so much screaming, but we could generally do it quietly, without telling anyone. When they seized 30 kg of plastid and hexogen, a bunch of detonators, and so on. We knew that he had been working for Russia since he was 14. Machine guns and a lot of other things were confiscated from him; he gave a pistol to one Russian activist, which she used in Nikolaev during the so-called “Russian Spring” in 14.
Everyone rushed to our defense, many well-known political heavyweights came to our doors, set off fires and wrote to the SBU - KGB. But we said, please give us a few days so that we can remove the classification, conduct an examination and show who he really is.
It seems to me that at that time in Moscow they clapped their hands when the agent was deciphered for them, with a bunch of explosives, and patriots came to defend him. But when we showed these patriots who he really is, collected the evidence base, then everything fell into place,” Gritsak said.
