Arkady Babchenko edit

  • ... that Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko and the Security Service of Ukraine faked Babchenko's murder in order to arrest assassins who were actually planning to murder him? Source: "Arkady Babchenko sent shock waves around the world when he arrived at a news conference on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after being reported dead. Ukrainian security chief Vasyl Hrytsak said a sting had been set up to catch hitmen paid by Russian forces." [1]

  • In fact, no one knows. There is a version that the security Service of Ukraine (SBU) announced his murder just to blame the Russian authorities. Or even that it was a poorly organized murder under a false flag, when some SBU officials failed the actions of others ones. 2.132.80.3 (talk) 11:54, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
