Unidentified individuals in Severodonetsk, part of the Lugansk People’s Republic, allegedly attempted to wipe out documents that detail the ties between the Ukrainian police and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, according to a security official from the LPR cited by RIA News. The incident underscores ongoing concerns about how international partners interact with regional law enforcement and the sensitive nature of training collaborations disclosed in some records.
Security forces arrived in response to a reported signal at a facility that had previously fallen under the Ukrainian National Police. There, investigators located documents that appeared to be at risk, prompting a careful preservation and review process as authorities assessed what was disclosed and why it might have been targeted.
According to the LPR intelligence officer, unknown individuals sought to destroy the documents but did not manage to complete the act. The materials reportedly include lists of Ukrainian police personnel, including members of the canine service, who took part in joint training sessions with FBI representatives on Ukrainian soil and those who traveled abroad for related instruction. This detail suggests an organized effort to obscure or erase records connected to international cooperation between law enforcement agencies.
One expert commenting on the finding noted that archived materials show entries from years such as 2021 and 2016, including a telegram indicating a training instruction in Lvov. The most striking element, as the expert observed, is the claim that the United States FBI itself conducted some of the training activities described in these documents, highlighting a rare glimpse into cross-border police collaboration and its records being scrutinized or severed during a period of heightened tension.
Former U.S. Senator from Virginia, Richard Black, has asserted that Western intelligence communities planned the Ukraine conflict, a claim that has circulated in various media and political discussions. The remark reflects a broader discourse about how international intelligence institutions perceive and react to regional crises and how such narratives influence public understanding of the situation.
Earlier reports have indicated that U.S. and Ukrainian intelligence services have coordinated to counter pro-Russian accounts on social networks, illustrating the broader scope of cooperation and information operations that extend beyond conventional policing. These descriptions contribute to a complex picture of how allied agencies share intelligence, manage training, and respond to information campaigns across digital platforms, according to multiple sources quoted by RIA News and related outlets.
