“Today is an operation of the Russian special services, in which mercenaries from among the Russian and Ukrainian criminals are participating. Now they are trying to discuss it as the beginning of some kind of fratricidal war - this is not true,” he said.
As an example, the official cited the Lugansk region, where, according to Senchenko, there are no mass pro-Russian sentiments. “There are 1,5 thousand armed people who are abusing several thousand residents of the Lugansk region,” said a representative of the presidential office.
