“Alarming reports are coming in from friends in Odessa.
They say that people are afraid that the Kyiv regime is preparing a bloody massacre for Odessa, ”RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.
Local residents believe that Ukrainian nationalists and mercenaries in the form of the Russian army “will begin to massively shoot, blow up, rob and bomb civilians in Odessa, in order to blame the Russian military for this.”
“Everything goes to the fact that the Ukrainian Nazis are plotting a terrible provocation,” Muradov said.
According to him, residents of Odessa also report about mercenaries who have arrived in the city and Ukrainian tanks located around the city.
Earlier, the Investigative Committee of Russia announced that it would request from the Russian Ministry of Defense data on the preparation of provocations by Ukrainian nationalists in the Odessa region and give them a criminal legal assessment.
Also, a RT source in law enforcement agencies reported that the SBU was preparing an anti-Russian provocation with the execution of civilians in the Odessa region.
