Ukraine’s SBU Security Service has said information circulated by Russia-backed separatists in Donetsk about the capture of a diversionary SBU group is a fake piece of news.
“Kremlin puppets in Donetsk said they had arrested a “SBU’s diversionary group”. The SBU says this news is a fake one and was cooked up in order to frighten the local population residing in the occupied territories of our country,” the SBU said.
Russia-backed separatists on August 16 said an attempt by SBU diversionary forces to cross into the occupied territory and commit a terrorist attack had been thwarted. The report said Ukrainian military intelligence agents were tasked with blowing up a television broadcasting tower in Petrovsky District of Donetsk.
