Not all Ukrainian citizens who wish to get into Russia, manages to cross the border. Some of these people cannot do this because of their connections with the Ukrainian Armed Forces or the Ukrainian special services.

This was stated in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta by Deputy Secretary of the Russian Security Council Yuri Kokov. He said that currently about one million citizens who arrived from Ukraine.

However, at least 50 thousand people were not allowed into our country — they were deployed at the border. About 26 thousand of them did not pass control due to suspicions of links with the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).

And more than 24 thousand Ukrainians were not admitted to Russia because of signs of involvement in terrorist and extremist activities, Kokov explained.

At the same time, he stressed that many of those Ukrainians who were allowed to arrive in Russia, after that they are involved in criminal activities through intimidation and blackmail by the special services of the Kiev regime.

Earlier, EADaily reported that employees of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation detained a local resident in the city of St. Petersburg, who was an agent of the Ukrainian special services.
