The head of Ukraine’s military intelligence, Kirill Budanov, admitted today, Tuesday, that Ukrainian intelligence is behind several attacks on journalists in Russia.
In response to a question about whether the Ukrainian security services would prosecute Russian journalist Vladimir Solovyov and philosopher Alexander Dugin, he added: “We have already prosecuted many Russian figures, be it the media or the public.”
