MP Hennadiy Moskal has said that that he has information about planned provocations in western Ukraine during the May holidays to intensify the separatists sentiments in the southeastern part of the country.
“On April 28 – a date that is considered the day of the creation of
the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Ukrainian), marches
with symbols of the division are supposed to be held on the streets of
Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Ternopil. The slogans of the marches are
supposed to be interpreted by the citizens of south and east of Ukraine
as a threat to their freedom, lives and property. Calls for physical
elimination of separatists are also planned, along with destruction of
the offices of Communist and Regions parties and administrative
buildings. The goal of these rallies is to raise the separatist
sentiment in the southeastern regions of Ukraine with renewed vigor,”
Moskal wrote on his Facebook page.
The MP assured that the information was received from reliable
sources, “which are directly connected to this special operation.” He
noted that “about a thousand people with fluent knowledge of Ukrainian,
who were prepared by Russian special services, will come to Lviv,
Ivano-Frankivsk and Ternopil regions. They will come as separate
travelers through checkpoints in Chernihiv region and from Belarus, and
won’t raise the suspicions of the Ukrainian border services,” the MP
said.
Moskal said that a network of provocateurs is already in Ukraine.
They are seeking contacts with NGOs and separate citizens, who will
agree to join the mass rallies for monetary compensation. “Coordinators
of provocations are experienced employees of Russian special forces and
natives of western regions of Ukraine, who speak the local dialect of
Ukrainian. They are already in the west of the country,” MP claims.
MP said that one more goal of the provocations is to use “holidays on
May 1-9 for full-scale acts of aggression all over Ukraine to oppose
the ‘neo-Nazis,’ ‘Banderovites’ and supporters of the 14th Waffen
Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Ukrainian).”
Besides, Moskal addressed Chief of the Ukrainian Security Service
Valentyn Nalyvaichenko, Interior Minister Arsen Avakov, Governors of
Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Ternopil regions with a request to apply their
best efforts to prevent provocations.
