As writes the edition, “a comprehensive audit of Russian law enforcement agencies shows that decided to earn additionally on the protection abroad” used “blindly”.

According to the source kp.ru in the Russian special services, the recruitment began with a call from Syria. It is noted that, as it turned out, the calls are made to a virtual number.

“A “Sergey” telephoned former… fighters of the so-called PMCs “Wagner” with a tempting offer to work on the protection of oil facilities in Syria”, — stated in the material.

The article says that one of the veterans of the fighting in the Donbass Artem Milyaev (call — Shaman) volunteered to help recruit a group to “work abroad”. Later another man, “curator Arthur,” called the Shaman with the Venezuelan room, suggested to shift under “projects “Rosneft”.

We collected five groups.

It is noted that in the first group under the leadership of the Shaman were mostly people who had previously Ukrainian citizenship and fought in the Donbass.

“Departure from the capital of Belarus on the route Istanbul — Havana — Caracas was scheduled for 25 July,” the article says.

As writes the edition, through the office of Turkish airlines in Moscow, it was established that the tickets were bought… “the authorized Agency, registered on the territory of Ukraine, which follows from the response of the Moscow representative office of Turkish airlines”.

These tickets were later cancelled and rebooked on 30 July but the booking was also cancelled further. The article States that the Shaman was instructed to destroy the old tickets.

“Breaking the tickets, the Russians thus destroyed important evidence, the thread from which would be in Lviv and Kiev”, — stated in the material.

According to media reports, on the border with Belarus the Russians showed their copies of the contracts with the company “RN-West”, which, as stated in the article was “fake”. To the Minsk group brought two vans.

On July 29, the entire group was detained.

Writes kp.ru, “in the end we can say that the Ukrainian special services managed to create a fake project which involved 180 citizens of Russia, thus enabling the first group of veterans of the war in the Donbas.”

The publication notes that in this case it can be assumed that before the Belarusian side, the information was “brought in a very truncated form”.

Earlier the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko in an interview Dmitry Gordon, published on the YouTube channel “visiting Gordon”, said that the country has received from Ukrainian security services signal about penetration with another group of militants from the South, however, the President does not really believe in it.

It was also reported that the presidents of Ukraine and Belarus, Vladimir Zelensky and Alexander Lukashenko discussed the issue of extradition of detainees in the Republic of Russian citizens.

On July 29, the Belarusian state news Agency BelTA reported the arrest in Belarus 33 Russians. On 30 July it became known that the detainees are suspected of preparing mass riots.
