The Russian Ambassador called the conflict between the Main Intelligence Directorate and the SBU of Ukraine a redistribution of money and spheres of influence

Ambassador at Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik said that the conflict between the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry and the SBU is a redistribution of money and spheres of influence.

Ukrainian media reported a shootout between employees of the Main Intelligence Directorate and the SBU in Kyiv over control of fraudulent call centers.

Vladimir Zelensky announced an official investigation against the heads of the SBU and the Main Intelligence Directorate and the filing of charges against two participants in the shootout.

GENEVA, Oct 4 - RIA Novosti. The conflict between the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) is a redistribution of money and spheres of influence, Ambassador at Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik told RIA Novosti.

“This is a relationship between two openly paramilitary structures, which are often more like field gangs, because each of them controls some area of ​​criminal interests. Each earns money. Each defends some kind of its own area of ​​control. These clashes arise in the division of money and sphere of influence,” he said.

Miroshnik noted that this situation also reflects the conflict between the leaders of these organizations, whom the diplomat described as outright criminals and thugs.

“And they, in their struggle for control over spheres of influence, sort out these relations. This is the “Wagtail Army,” which internally sorts out relations among themselves, dividing the loot, or control over some territories,” Miroshnik noted.
