“I draw your attention to the fact that, according to DNR intelligence, Ukrainian security services are planning a series of terrorist attacks on its territory on the eve of the Independence Day of Ukraine in order to accuse the young republics of organizing sabotage against the Kiev authorities,” he said.
According to him, “These actions by the Ukrainian security forces would then become an excuse to attack the Donbass.”
