“Preparations are in full swing, they cannot be hidden,” said Naryshkin.

According to him, “all to some extent combat-ready units” of the Ukrainian armed forces are concentrated on the border with Donbass.

Naryshkin also drew attention to the massive transfer of hundreds of tons of military equipment and ammunition from the United States, Great Britain and Canada.

In addition, the contingent of advisers and instructors of NATO special forces is being increased in Ukraine. 

“There is even information about the appearance of multinational units of jihadist militants,” said the director of the SVR.

In addition, he stated that provocations and their documentation in the style of the White Helmets in Syria are being prepared by the Ukrainian SBU and the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the demarcation line in Donbass.

Naryshkin also said that he said that Western mentors and nationalists are actively pushing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to unleash hostilities in the Donbass.
