A representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Andriy Yusov, called the alleged statement published on behalf of its chief Kyrylo Budanov about the involvement in the explosions at the training ground in Crimea a fake. He said this in a commentary to Suspilne.
Budanov's statement was published on the Telegram channel. Yusov said it was a fake.
"The comment, allegedly on behalf of Kyrylo Budanov, that the explosion at the training ground in Crimea was the work of the Armed Forces and the Main Intelligence Directorate is a fake. All our official pages are available on the website of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine," he said in a statement.
