Murdered at the behest of Kiev. The head of the SBU makes surprising revelations: Dughin’s daughter was killed by mistake

In an unusual appearance on Ukraine’s national television, the head of the Security Service (SBU), General Vasili Maliuk, spoke about Kiev’s assassination campaign to eliminate Ukrainian citizens collaborating with Russia or even Russians close to Putin. Maliuk said Ukrainian spies targeted “very many” people responsible for war crimes and attacks against Ukrainian citizens, according to SkyNews and the Kyiv Post.

Maliuk said Ukraine could not officially take responsibility for the killings, telling national broadcaster ICTV: “Officially, we will not admit this. But at the same time, I can provide some details.”

The head of the SBU claimed that the assassination campaign, carried out by networks of secret agents and clandestine agents, prioritized Ukrainian citizens collaborating with the Russian occupation authorities to arrest and torture other Ukrainians.

In the interview, Maliuk provided details about several killings authorized by Ukrainian officials and the alleged internal processes of the Ukrainian government that authorized them.

Malyuk claimed the process goes as follows: Before planning and executing an assassination, SBU leadership cooperates with law enforcement and intelligence agencies nationwide to identify the target and confirm that he or she was responsible for the activities during the war, which resulted in the killing or injury of Ukrainian citizens.

Who were the pro-Russians assassinated by Kiev

The head of the SBU said that one of the most important assassination attempts was against the Russian political philosopher and close ally of Vladimir Putin, Aleksandr Dugin. It failed when the Kremlin propagandist swapped cars with his daughter on August 20, 2022, who was killed in a car bomb assassination.

Perhaps the most famous personality killed was Vladlen Tatarsky, Ukrainian-born Kremlin propagandist and media personality. The head of the SBU said he was removed for his military service in the fight against Ukraine and for his calls for the elimination of Ukrainians.

The propagandist was killed when he was handed a statuette packed with explosives in a cafe in St Petersburg last April. Ukraine’s spy chief said agents tricked a middleman, a young woman, into handing over the Tatarski statue.

Maliuk claims that the SBU would not take credit for the assassination, but Tatarski “deserved it because of his repeated abuse of Ukrainian prisoners of war.”

Former member of the Ukrainian parliament Ilya Kivaan outspoken critic of Ukrainian independence and a fugitive from Kiev authorities after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, was shot dead by an assassin in a village west of Moscow on December 6, 2023. Kiva had been convicted of treason and continued anti-Ukrainian activities in cooperation with Russia’s national spy agency, the FSB, and was gunned down by a “skilled” assassin, Maliuk said.

Ukrainian citizen Zakhar Prelepin, a senior official in a Kremlin-backed “separatist” government in eastern Ukraine’s Lugansk region, was “a target” because he served at the top levels of Ukrainian law enforcement before switching camps. He publicly called for the killing of Ukrainians and made a systematic effort to carry out the murders, the SBU chief says.

Prelepin survived a bomb detonation in September 2022 that killed other police officers gathered in a country house in the Lugansk region, but severe abdominal wounds destroyed his genitals and left “this criminal war-proven” invalid, says Maliuk. At the time, some publications wrote that Prelipin died in the attack.

An 800 gram NATO standard C-4 explosive charge was used to blow up the office of the Prosecutor General of the occupation authority “LPR” in Lugansk, Sergey Gorenko.

Igor Korneta senior police officer in the occupied Lugansk region, was also seriously injured in a bomb blast that hit a barbershop in Lugansk on May 15, 2023. Kornet went to the barbershop once a week, and secret agents could establish a clear route to it before, said Maliuk.
