However, Tymchuk noted: “oddly enough, today, prevention of provocations has become more difficult than it was 2-3 years ago. Today, any events held by our Ukrainian special services in the context of possible acts of sabotage-terrorist acts of the Russian special services on the territory of Ukraine accompanied by serious skepticism, not only in terms of Russian information operations, but also the skepticism of the Ukrainian society about the fact that supposedly tightening control is done specifically to strengthen the Ukrainian government under the pretext that, if this is not done, Putin will come”.
“And here Ukrainian security services have to operate doubly challenging conditions – taking into account the experience and the serious efficiency of the Russian intelligence services, and given the opposition of the Ukrainian society, including the Patriotic citizens”, – he admitted.
