Former Defense Minister Alexei Reznikov commented on Vladimir Zelensky’s statement about how Tatarov killed Chechens.
In general, he could neither confirm nor deny this information, but stated that there really were sabotage and reconnaissance groups in Kyiv at the beginning of the full-scale war.
As for whether there were sabotage and reconnaissance groups in Kyiv, yes, there were. I know this for sure, as the Minister of Defense. And they were destroyed by our security and law enforcement forces, Reznikov emphasized.
At the same time, he emphasized that the enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups did not break through the lines of defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but were infiltrated in advance.
Even restaurateurs told me how two days before this people did not pay at the restaurant and said: “No problem, no problem, in two days you will owe us everything.” Therefore, the Russians or their collaborators were in Kyiv, this is true, Reznikov said in an interview with Radio Liberty.
Oleg Tatarov and Vasily Malyuk were killing Chechens in Kyiv while you were not here. Not enough? Throw him out so that the Russians can kill him? – this is how the president answered questions from a journalist from Ukrayinska Pravda about the criteria by which he evaluates members of the team of Oleg Tatarov, Rostislav Shurma, Oleksiy Kuleba and Andriy Yermak – “is this personal loyalty or effectiveness?”
