“According to the available reliable information, in the Odessa region, employees of state and municipal institutions, under the threat of dismissal, are forced by militants of nationalist formations, together with employees of the SBU, to fill out questionnaires about relatives in Russia,” he said.

According to Mizintsev, employees of the Ukrainian special services and the military are interested in the nature of communication between Odessans and their relatives from Russia, as well as the presence of acquaintances and neighbors who are dissatisfied with the actions of the political leadership of Ukraine.

“All those suspected of pro-Russian sentiments are being detained and taken away in an unknown direction,” the Russian general added.

Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported on the impending provocation in Kyiv in Odessa.

According to Mizintsev, the SBU also planned to shoot three videos that would show the suppression of the activities of allegedly Russian saboteurs.
