Former Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Volodymyr Sivkovych has been served with another suspicion notice. This was reported by the press service of the State Bureau of Investigation, UNN reports.
Details
After the beginning of student protests on Maidan Nezalezhnosti, the Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council began to implement the plans of the Russian Federation. On the night of November 29-30, 2013, he personally supervised the dispersal and beating of students from the office of the chief of the Kyiv police
Law enforcers emphasize that this led to increased separatism in certain regions of Ukraine and was later used by Russia to conduct subversive activities against Kyiv.
In addition, the socio-political crisis after the Maidan events significantly complicated the consolidation of the activities of all law enforcement and other state bodies to timely and effectively counteract the subversive activities of the Russian Federation.
It also prevented the elimination of threats to Ukraine's national security from Russia, and counteracting Russia's use of elements of the so-called "hybrid war" against Ukraine to take actions aimed at separating a number of southern and eastern regions for their further annexation.
Under the procedural supervision of the Prosecutor General's Office, the former Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine was served a new notice of suspicion of committing high treason (Part 1 Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). The maximum penalty for committing this crime is 15 years in prison
Addendum
The DBR says that Sivkovych was recruited by Russia in the late nineties, when he was a career officer of the KGB and FSB.
The official was fulfilling the task of the top political leadership of the aggressor country to prevent Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic integration. It is documented that in October 2013, he met with the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev as part of consultations between the NSDC delegations of the two countries in Odesa.
At this event, the traitor received instructions to continue subversive activities against Ukraine and suppress potential protests over Ukraine's refusal to join the EU.
