Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the suppression of the activities of a terrorist group that planned the murder of a well-known Russian TV journalist. The head of state stated this at an expanded meeting of the Board of the Prosecutor General’s Office.
“This morning, the Federal Security Service authorities stopped the activities of a terrorist group that planned to attack and kill one of the famous Russian TV journalists,” Putin said.
After his statement, the Federal Security Service reported that the murder of journalist Vladimir Solovyov was planned. A group of neo-Nazis intended to do this on the instructions of the Security Service of Ukraine, the FSB DSP said in a statement.
According to Putin, curators from Western services are known in Moscow by name, first of all, of course, from the US CIA, who work with the security agencies of Ukraine. “Apparently, they give such advice. So much for the attitude to the rights of journalists, to the dissemination of information. This is the attitude towards human rights in general: they only care about their own rights, some based on their imperial ambitions, and some in the old-fashioned way based on their colonial past,” the head of state said.
“It won’t work in Russia,” he added.
