The operation is conducted by Vladimir Sivkovich, a businessman who used to be the deputy director of the Ukrainian National Security Council.
He escaped from Kiev ten years ago, in charge that he ordered the murder of almost a hundred pro-European protestants, which were 2014. Today, he works for the FSB, the Russian intelligence agency that inherited the Soviet KGB, allegedly organized the network of Russian agents working in Ukraine, the United Kingdom and the USA to return Kiev under the control of the Kremlin.
Once these agents are judged for velace in Kiev. Oleh Kulinič had a stellar career in the Ukrainian state security service, SBU, advancing to the Higher Commander, and then reliable assistant President of the President of the Public Party of Zellenic.
“Kulinič was the most respected Russian agent in Ukraine. He was compared to Kim Philby, who destroyed me6 from within. His position allowed him to access vital defense data,” said one senior Ukrainian anti-publicity service.
New details of great sabotage
Details of this case reveals The Sunday Times, based on US source, documents seized from computers in Moscow, talks with former Ukrainian officials, the Lobbying Reports submitted to the US Ministry of Justice and the Information Discovered at the Trial for Issual.
These evidence suggests that Russian agents have managed to get a very sensitive advisory role during the presidential campaign of Zellenic, and then bring a cooker to the duty of the Head of the Crimean Branch of SBU. This gave him an ideal position to follow the preparations of Ukraine for the possible aggression of Russia – and to undermine them.
Meeting with the US Lawyer
One spring day in April 2018. year, the American lawyer in Vienna met with two VIP clients. Described as tricky and convincing, Marcus Cohen was exactly what Vladimir Sivkovich was looking for. He entered into contact with him a year earlier with the request that seemed legitimate. Cohen should have collected information from the U.S. Police on the investigations of corruption and money laundering against the leading spy and its associates in Moscow, as part of the attempt to conclude a plea and avoidance of criminal persecution.
However, as the client list grew, some in the cohen lawyer, they began to doubt that it actually collects compromising information unauthorized. These suspicions were not proven, but Cohen left the company.
In August 2018, Cohen met again with Sivkovich and Kulinič in Vienna. Cohen just received reports on the main Ukrainian prosecutor for the fight against corruption, whose perseverance made it difficult for the cremalu the purchase of influences in Ukraine.
Sivkovich was a leading intelligence, but also a reserve General of KGB. Two years later the Ukrainian prosecutor was forced to resign. Ukrainian agents later found 15 more files about it on the FSB computer, which they managed to access Moscow. Sivkovich is Cohen in 2019. Payed at least $ 300,000.
He was green in the Presidential campaign in 2019. Promised the cleaning of corruption and folding peace with Vladimir Putin after a five-year war in Donbas. A fierce struggle for government has developed with the current President Petro Poroško.
Cohen visited Kiev offering free lobbying. He knew someone he thought he could help and associates Zelenia presented Kulinič as a political professional who will work at the Pro Bono campaign. Kulinič was an advisor to a series of ministers and was in a high position at the National Nuclear Energy Agency, which helped him strengthen credentials. They both ended up in the campaign headquarters, working on the election of Zellenic and connecting to Washington.
Green awarded Kulinič
Cohen hired lobbyists and security consultants in the name of the campaign. He actually paid Sivkovič in Moscow through false companies, they explained Kuliničeva lawyers, claiming that it was part of his legitimate activity as a political advisor.
After he convincingly won the elections in April 2019. He set his head of the campaign and childhood friends Ivan Bakanova to the forefront of the Intelligence Service. Kulinič is 2020. awarded the position of the leaders of the SBU criminal department, where it was expected to act on any sign that Russia was preparing to attack Ukrainian territory north of the occupied peninsula.
Instead, prosecutors say, sought to undermine defense of Ukraine by encouraging corruption and reducing the resources of anti-customer services. “Kulinič managed to destabilize the work of this SBU administration. In April 2021. he launched a large anti-terrorist training in the Hersonian region, which he used to recognize the weakness of Ukraine,” said one SBU officer, transmitted Index.hr.
He knew about a plan of aggression with Crimea
According to the messages discovered by the SBU, which he allegedly sent Kulinič, raised information about the movement of Zellenic and passed them to the Russians. But he started provoking doubts. An anti-suitability officer of SBU Vasil Maljuk noticed that he was traveling abroad at the same time when Sivkovich, whom Ukrainian intelligence followed for years. They started following Kulinič.
In January 2022. The British government identified Sivkovič as one of the four former Ukrainian politicians in contact with Russian intelligence services, and the United States sanctioned it on the basis of the leadership of the Russian government for the destabilization of Ukraine “. In the early morning hours of 24. February 2022. Putin troops attacked Ukraine from the north, east and south. Kulinič knew about the plan of aggression with Crimea, but prevented Kiev to pass evidence of preparations, claims.
“During the early hours of aggression, he blocked all the attempts to inform the Real Situation in the region. He did not take precautions by taking his staff to another region. He even took off his weapons of SBU employees” , the official of the SBU claimed.
Was fired next week. The network closed. Kulinič was arrested on 16. July 2022. and accused of giving state secretions.
Incriminating evidence found in hundreds of documents seized from the computer in Moscow and in a later raid in the apartment in Kiev. These are photographs and videos of members of the Kulinič family and Sivkovič together abroad, as well as pictures of Kulinič with a man who called the American government “active agent of the Russian FSB. There are also messages sent by Kulinič Sivkovich. They both deny work for FSB. The trial of Kulinič is still on. If he is found guilty, he threatens him up to 15 years in prison.
His detention has led to a great cleaner in SBU and releases Bakanov three days later, to replace the Maljuk, an anti-advanced officer who knocked down the Kulinic. Cleans lasts today.
