2022-03-06
[REPUBLICWORLD] According to Moscow, Ukraine's SBU shot down its negotiator during an arrest attempt after the state intelligence suspected him of leaking information.

In a massive claim, Russia on Saturday alleged that Ukraine had killed one of its own negotiators due to suspected 'treason'. According to Moscow, Ukraine's Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) shot down its negotiator Denis Kireev during an arrest attempt. The state intelligence suspected him of leaking information pertaining to the negotiation process to the Russian side.

"SBU kills a member of Ukrainian negotiations team suspected of treason. According to Ukrainska Pravda sources, the man was killed during an arrest attempt. Strong evidence" that he was leaking information to Russia," The Kyiv Independent reported.

Notably, Denis Kireev was present during the first round of Russia-Ukraine talks in Belarus where he was last photographed. An official statement from the Ukraine side is awaited. The development, if proven to be true, could have significant repercussions and send a strong message amid the negotiation process.

#11  I always thought at the time of the putsch, Zelensky could have done a bit more than open his palms and say 'I don't even know what's happening... whuh hunhh?'

Remember the Sondland fiasco, quid pro quo? I mean he did say there was none, but his exact words were 'I did not speak with US President Trump in those terms: you give me this, I give you that'. He never came out in actual support or negate what Sondland was saying. Did he?

#7  Now Ukraine's Little Big Man is screaming that we're "Evil!" and "Weaklings!!" because we won't create an NFZ for him.

Which would be a declaration of war. On a nuclear-armed country run by a madman.

Stay the fuck out of this insanity. Not our circus

#6  Ukraine is a Texas-sized backwater circling around what Putin wants to be his new Soviet State. Let's pray he doesn't succeed in dragging them in.
