Klupov said this in an interview with Moskovsky Komsomolets.

“If you wish, you can legalize sabotage groups on the territory of that side.

But the risk of losing our specialists is high, ”said the intelligence officer.

He explained that a mobilization regime is currently operating on the territory of Ukraine, and it is highly likely that Russian saboteurs will be drafted into the army there.

Klupov added that the Ukrainian authorities are using sabotage groups, since they no longer have other opportunities to reach some objects in Russia.

Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the destruction of six Ukrainian sabotage groups in the Zaporozhye region and on the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic.
