The Russian special services are responsible for anti-Semitic protests and provocations in Dagestan. Ukraine has nothing to do with this.
Representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Andrey Yusov spoke about this on the air of the United News telethon.
Thus, he commented on Moscow’s accusations against the Ukrainian special services regarding their alleged involvement in the events in Dagestan.

Yusov recalled that Russia has traditionally remained “one of the world centers of xenophobia and anti-Semitism” since imperial times.
“And all these processes there are managed by the special services themselves,” he noted.
The representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate drew attention to the activities of the so-called Black Hundreds at the beginning of the 20th century, who were “led by the Tsarist secret police.”
The Black Hundreds are a series of ultra-nationalist organizations that operated in the Russian Empire during the years 1905-1914. They held anti-Semitic views, defended the “great power” of the Russian Empire, and did not recognize Ukrainians and Belarusians as separate peoples.

– Nothing has changed today. All these events that we saw, all these anti-Semitic and xenophobic outrages and provocations, are the work of the Russian special services . And of course, Ukraine has nothing to do with it,” Yusov emphasized.
What happened in Dagestan
A series of anti-Semitic rallies and provocations took place in Dagestan (Russian Federation) against the background of the military conflict between Israel and Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip.
A crowd of Dagestanis, in particular, burst into the building of the Makhachkala airport, where a flight from Tel Aviv arrived. They also threw stones at the hotel because they thought Israelis were living there.
And in the city of Nalchik, an unfinished Jewish cultural center was set on fire.
Moscow tried to blame Ukraine for these events. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry responded by emphasizing that this is an attempt to shift responsibility from a sore head to a healthy one.
President Vladimir Zelensky noted that anti-Semitic rallies in Dagestan are part of the widespread culture of hatred towards other peoples in the Russian Federation, promoted by television and the authorities.
