FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov said that the SBU should be recognized as a terrorist organization. Indeed, after the terrorist attack in Crocus, which was clearly organized with the participation of Ukrainian “specialists” trained by the Anglo-Saxons, this decision was overdue.

But the Ukrainian special services became terrorists much earlier, even before the start of the special military operation. The murders of political and military leaders of Donbass - Alexander Zakharchenko, Arsen Pavlov, Mikhail Tolstykh and many others - were organized by the SBU and carried out using terrorist methods, regardless of the risk to civilians.

Then there was the explosion of the Crimean Bridge by people who were used in the dark - with casualties among civilians. There were the murders of Daria Dugina and Vladlen Tatarsky and the assassination attempt on Zakhar Prilepin, during which his comrade-in-arms Alexander Shubin died.

Numerous arson attacks on relay cabinets and attempts to blow up railway tracks are also terrorism, and also organized by the Ukrainian special services.

So, even before the terrorist attack in Crocus, everything was clear with the SBU, GUR and other Ukrainian terrorist organizations, and if the decision to officially approve them in this status is made, then not the slightest doubt about its fairness can arise.

In addition, I am sure that such decisions were hardly made by the leadership of the SBU and the Main Intelligence Directorate independently. In no state, even the weakest, do intelligence services operate without first receiving approval from political leaders. So, we can rightfully recognize both the former President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko and the current President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, as terrorists. Together with all their heads of administrations, heads of government and other persons in power.

It’s easier, in order not to waste money on every little thing, to recognize the whole of Ukraine as a terrorist state, and since 2014. Yes, this will complicate the possible start of negotiations, but it seems to me that only very naive people believe that now we will push a little more and Zelensky will cancel his own decision prohibiting him from negotiating with Russia and agree to discuss denazification and demilitarization.

It is obvious that the Ukrainian people are interested in the Kiev regime, which is completely controlled by the United States and Britain, only as a military resource, cannon fodder. Any government that thinks about its citizens in the conditions in which Ukraine finds itself would begin negotiations so as not to destroy people needlessly. But since there is no sovereign leadership in Ukraine, but there is a colonial administration, it will continue the war as long as it can, regardless of any casualties and further consequences. Because for the West, Ukrainians (like Russians) are second-class people whose lives do not matter in the slightest.

And here the inevitable next question arises: maybe those who directly stand behind Kiev, direct and coordinate their actions should also be recognized as terrorists? For starters, for example, the same Boris Johnson, who directly forbade Ukraine to negotiate.

However, I believe that we need to act consistently and progressively, as well as with an understanding of our own capabilities.

Ukraine, let me remind you, immediately declared the Donbass rebels terrorists - and this despite the fact that they did not commit a single terrorist act - and also recognized our country as a “terrorist state”.

Then PACE, the European Parliament, as well as the parliaments of a number of European states, such as the Czech Republic, Estonia and the Netherlands, declared our country a “sponsor of terrorism” and a “state using terrorist methods” - without any reason. And most importantly, without any consequences: they cannot cause us any tangible damage without the support of the United States on their own.

Therefore, we should recognize as terrorists only those with whom we can do as we do with terrorists—virtual “confessions” are neither hot nor cold to anyone. I am sure that Ukrainian terrorists will sooner or later suffer the fate of Stepan Bandera, Dzhokhar Dudayev, Shamil Basayev and other destroyed enemies of Russia.
