[KP] In July 2020, the Belarusian authorities showed a video about the detention of 33 Russian citizens.
Let me tell you why the conclusion of the British investigators that the delay in the departure of the Wagnerites from Minsk, which occurred after the meeting with Zelensky on July 24, led to the disruption of the special operation, is complete nonsense. And that is why the publication does not say a word about the participation of the CIA in this whole provocation.
Representatives of the Russian special services told me about this last year, and I have no reason not to trust them. Moreover, after the Bellingcat publication coincided with my facts in the smallest detail. So, it was the CIA curators in Kiev, Timothy James Skovin and Brian Thomas O'Burn, who canceled the option of landing a plane with the Russians in Kiev. Here is my dialogue with people who untangled this tangle:
Russian counterintelligence in bold
- At the final stage, at the suggestion of the Americans, an additional, more global, strategic goal appeared - to split the Belarusian-Russian relations. It was for this that the special services of Ukraine brought the group to Minsk and created conditions for its non-departure to Istanbul.
- The Ukrainian media reported that after the departure of the liner with the Russians on board, it was supposed to land at one of the airfields in Ukraine. Journalistic versions differed - the Ukrainian agent on the plane was supposed to pose as either a sick person who suddenly became ill, or a terrorist.
- Such options were discussed in the offices of the SBU, but only at the initial stage. Already in the spring of 2020, it was decided to drag a group of conditional "Wagnerites" to Minsk and detain them with the hands of the special services of Belarus. Let me remind you that at the time of crossing the border with Belarus late at night on July 24, tickets for all 33 Russian citizens with an original departure date on the morning of July 25 from Minsk were canceled, which the members of the group did not know.
- In Ukraine, some are inclined to believe that the operation failed due to treason. Allegedly, at a meeting with Zelensky on July 24, a decision was made to postpone the operation, which ultimately suffered a fiasco ...
- Perhaps, on July 24, Zelensky had some kind of meeting. Maybe even on this topic. Let me just remind you that the booking for tickets on the Minsk-Istanbul route for all 33 Russians with a departure date on July 25 was canceled from Kiev on July 20! That is, four days before the 24th, the organizers of the action assumed that all Russian citizens would remain in Belarus, and then end up in Ukraine.
- How do you yourself assess this operation?
- Operations in intelligence and counterintelligence are not figure skating or rhythmic gymnastics, where the performance of complex elements is assessed. Here, success or failure is judged by the end result. It is necessary, as in hockey, to look at the scoreboard. And today we see on it that Russian citizens are in their homeland. What is this if not a failure of the CIA and their Ukrainian partners?
That is, both the conclusions of the Provisional Investigative Commission of the Verkhovna Rada, and the conclusions of the British coinciding with it, are an attempt to shield the involvement of the CIA, which, in fact, profited the operation. Leaving their Ukrainian partners to take the rap. * Organization recognized as a foreign agent.
