The department announced this in response to a request from the Ukrainian edition of APnews.
It is noted that the grounds for including Galkin in the relevant list and the ban on entry into the territory of Ukraine are due to the activities of a Russian to the detriment of the national interests of Ukraine.
“In particular, activities aimed at provoking separatist sentiments, creating preconditions for violating the territorial integrity of our state, supporting the temporary occupation of a part of the territory of Ukraine by an aggressor state, etc.,” the SBU statement cites the publication.
On November 3, the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine included Maksim Galkin on the list of persons threatening the national security of the state on the submission of the SBU.
