Ambassador General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia Rodion Miroshnik in an interview RIA News He stated that Russia found it appropriate to recognize the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (GUR) and the Armed Forces of Ukraine as terrorist organizations at the state level.
“There is a question here of MPs, senators or political leaders taking political initiative on the advisability of granting terrorist status to these structures. “We think this makes sense,” he said.
According to Miroshnik, for an organization to be recognized as a terrorist internationally, an international political consensus is needed, including the real clients and coordinators of the crimes. He added that for now this can only be done in the Russian Federation.
Previously Russian President Vladimir Putin statedIt was stated that the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine (GUR), which have repeatedly been found responsible for the preparation and implementation of terrorist attacks in Russia, can only be recognized as terrorists by a court.
Nikolai Patrushev, formerly Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation statedThat the attacks on the Crimean Bridge turned the United States and its allies into sponsors of terrorism.
