Chief of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) Valentyn Nalyvaichenko

has said that there is every reason to believe that a group of employees

of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) participated in planning

and implementing measures on the so-called anti-terrorist operation in

Kyiv during mass protests in February 2014.

“We have reasonable grounds to believe that these groups, who were on

one of the SBU firing grounds, participated in planning and

implementing measures on the so-called anti-terrorist operation,” he

said at a briefing in Kyiv on Thursday.
