They come with another achievement that targets the Russian people,” the SBU said.
As the Ukrainians insisted, “Soloviev was not a social activist, but an ordinary propagandist – a Russian parallel to the Goebbels – who, after the conquest of Ukraine, would be held accountable for the crimes he committed in the international courts.”
“The SBU has no plans to assassinate Soloviev. At the same time, given the number of counterfeits and anti-Ukrainian hatred kidnapped by this person, he may suffocate in the preparations for his own vicious propaganda activities,” the SBU added.
