Western security services, primarily UK intelligence service MI6, are training Ukrainian sabotage groups for provocations against nuclear power plants (NPPs) in Russia, Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Director Sergey Naryshkin said in an interview with Sputnik.
“I can give examples when Western security services, primarily British MI6, train Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups whose plans include carrying out provocations at nuclear power plants in the Russian Federation,” Naryshkin said.
According to reports, in 2023 Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups that were targeting some NPPs were neutralized in Russia.
The West is thinking of organizing a revolution in Russia, but will not succeed, Naryshkin stated.
“I can say with confidence that the Western, especially American, intelligence community sincerely believed in the power of its technology to overthrow the so-called unwanted regimes. Indeed… they are responsible for the tragedy of the so-called ‘Arab Spring’ with its chaos, thousands and thousands of deaths and devastation. Western countries, especially the United States, are also responsible for the tragedy of the Ukrainian ‘Euromaidan’,” the intel chief emphasized.
He said the West thought it could do the same to Russia.
“Of course, none of this worked or will work,” Naryshkin stressed.
Such dangerous bid shall be effectively countered by Russia.
