SBU Head Vasyl Hrytsak does not rule out the ”Russian trace” in plotting terrorist attacks in France during the UEFA EURO-2016 in June 2016, according to an UNIAN correspondent.
”We came across the version of the `Russian trace` almost at the end, when the Frenchman, who was later detained in Ukraine, offered his `associates,` with whom he was in contact in the framework of a special operation set up by the SBU, several thousand euros so that a Ukrainian citizen would accompany the cargo (weapons and explosives) in the territory of Europe,” Hrytsak said at a press conference in Kyiv on Monday.
According to him, this was a key moment, and ”that is why we believe that this can be a `set-up` of the Russian special services.”
