Podolyak does not rule out possible political murders in Europe at the hands of Russia

The SBU recently reported that that Russia was preparing a terrorist attack in Kyiv on May 9. Also before this, there were attempts to assassinate Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. However, Russia can prepare terrorist attacks not only in Ukraine, but also in Europe.

This opinion 24 Channel was expressed by Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak, noting that all European countries should realize what Russia is capable of. We need her complete isolation from the world.

Preparing terrorist attacks in Europe

According to Podolyak, Russia is preparing terrorist attacks not only in Ukraine. In Europe there are already bombings of specific industries, there are attempts to influence certain political decisions through provocations. In Europe, Russian citizens who are involved in Russian intelligence services are already being detained. This is a system that more and more adds to the escalation of the terrorist-sabotage type.

I think there will be political murders in Europe,” noted the adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine.

How countries are reacting

There are representatives of the political elites, especially in Eastern Europe, who, according to Podolyak, understand where everything is going and how impossible it is to predict security if Russia does not lose the war.< /p>

They constantly talk about this, lobby for a significant increase in aid to Ukraine and increasing economic pressure on Russia in order to deprive it of the money it spends on sabotage in European countries,” noted the adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine.

However, there are also those countries that “are busy with their own problems” and do not fully understand what Russia is capable of. The aggressor country is demonstratively using the genocidal component in the war against Ukraine.

This is what happened in the Kiev and Kharkov regions , daily recording of attacks on critical or social infrastructure. And these people (politicians of certain countries – Channel 24) see all this and continue to say that “yes, Russia is waging the wrong war, but…”, emphasized the adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine.

He added that many European companies and banks continue to operate in Russia. As many as 8 banks in Europe received excess profits and paid much higher taxes to Russia for 2023.

We need to talk about it all, clearly state companies and names. In any war there are three components: a sufficient amount of resources on the battlefield, economic opportunities and complete isolation of Russia. Russia’s membership in international institutions must be suspended, primarily in the IAEA, the isolation of specific characters, such as Lavrov, Belousov, Putin, is necessary, Podolyak explained.
