In Lviv Region SSU Detained Two Russian Citizens for Planning to Take Well-known Ukrainian Politicians Hostage

April 2, 2014, in Lviv region the Security Service of Ukraine detained two citizens of the Russian Federation (DOB: 1987 and 1986) for having intended to take several Ukrainian citizens hostage. One of their alleged victims was a presidential candidate.

According to the SBU, the Russian for 2 years has been in Ukraine under an assumed name and actively recruited Ukrainians, mostly military, to obtain information constituting a state secret.

According to the FSB office in the Rostov region, the three men were among 25 Ukrainians detained in Russia last week on suspicion of planning terrorist attacks in the Rostov, Vogograd, Tver, Orel, Belgorod regions and republics of Kalmykia and Tatarstan.

"The suspects, who had been arrested in the Rostov region and the Republic of Kalmykia, and admitted their contacts with officers of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), were deported today from Russia," the regional office said.

The FSB said the suspects had been instructed to monitor Russian military drills in regions bordering Ukraine and establish contacts with Russian radicals and extremists.

In his much publicized contacts with pro-Russian activists who took over the regional administration building in Donetsk on Sunday, he has sympathized with their calls for upgrading the status of the Russian language in Ukraine and came out strongly against any use of force by authorities to end their sit-in.

If security forces stormed the building, he "would be with the people", Ukrainska Pravda news site quoted him as saying.

At the same time he urged the separatists to tone down some of their demands, such as an independent "Donetsk Republic", and to hold constructive negotiations with the government.

He favors decentralization of power - along lines already being drawn up by the new leadership - but is at pains to differentiate this from Moscow's call for "federalism", which Kiev says would be a precursor to the break-up of the country.
