Mykola Tishchenko

He said this on the air of Pryamiy TV channel, commenting on the Bellingcat investigation into the failure of a special operation to detain the Wagnerians.

The People's Deputy was asked how it turned out that Bellingcat has data that the Temporary Commission of Inquiry does not have. To which he replied: "TBK has clearly established that there were no orders, so it is necessary to trust the professional information from sources coming from MPs, and it was Mariana Bezugla who has already given her assessment and conclusion of the TSC."

According to Tyshchenko, the state's position is to focus on the decisions of the TSC, and the rest - "gossip", "thoughts", "Russian provocation" and "a terrible strategy to destroy Ukraine's democracy."

Asked whether Andriy Yermak had the right to give orders for a special operation, he said: “Look, I have known Yermak for over 30 years. He is a patriot, he is a 300% Ukrainian man, I know him as he thinks, what he dreams of. And to talk about it is dirt - I think it's treason. "

He also added that the operation to detain the militants from Wagner's APC was not a special operation.

Bellingcat investigation

On November 17, Bellingcat and The Insider investigated a Ukrainian special operation to detain Wagner's militants. In particular, Bellingcat with reference to the former head of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense Vasyl Burba reports that the head of the VP Andriy Yermak proposed to postpone the operation for a week.

Prior to that, a ceasefire agreement was signed in Donbass, which was to enter into force on July 27. According to Burba, the President's Office believed that if the special operation went according to plan, the agreement would be terminated before July 27. The President's Office did not comment on the information, and investigators were unable to verify the conversation.

Following Burba's objections, the President's Office proposed reducing the delay to four days, which would allow a ceasefire agreement to take effect, investigators said.

It was planned that the "recruited" by Ukrainian intelligence militants would travel from Moscow to Minsk, and from there fly to Istanbul, ostensibly to protect oil facilities. If the plane flew in the airspace of Ukraine, the flight would be planted under the pretext of explosives on board, and the PMC mercenaries would be detained, the material said.

When a group of 33 mercenaries left Moscow, the GUR team rebooked tickets, forcing the mercenaries to stay in Minsk for several days. They were moved to a sanatorium outside the city, where they were detained by Belarusian security forces on July 29.

What is known about the special operation to detain Wagner's militants

On July 29, 2020, Belarusian security forces announced the detention of 33 militants of the Kremlin-controlled unofficial private military company Wagner. A few days later, on August 2, the Belarusian prosecutor's office chose a measure of restraint in the form of arrest.

In Minsk, it was stated that the goal of the APC fighters was to destabilize the situation in the country before the presidential election. Some of the detainees fought in the Donbass on the side of the DNR and LNR. Despite Ukraine's request for their extradition, Belarus handed over mercenaries to Russia.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky called such a decision unfair and inconsistent with friendly interstate relations.

At the same time, according to journalist Yuriy Butusov, the arrival of the Wagnerians in Belarus was part of an operation by Ukrainian special services that tried to lure them out of Russia.

Earlier, these militants took part in the fighting in Donbass and were involved, in particular, in the destruction of the IL-76 aircraft in June 2014, which killed 49 Ukrainian servicemen.

Journalist Yanina Sokolova released an audio recording, which probably recorded the mercenaries' talks with an undercover SBU operative who recruited them.

In the end, Butusov and Sokolov were summoned for questioning by the DBR in the case of " disclosure of classified information."

The Ukrainian authorities stated that the special services had not conducted any special operations against Wagner's APC.

In June, in an interview with 1 + 1 TV channel, Zelensky stated that the story of the detention of the Wagnerians in Minsk in the summer of 2020 was not an operation by Ukraine, but the idea came from other countries. Then the President's Office said that Zelensky's words about the special operation were reversed.

The fifth president, Petro Poroshenko, said in December 2020 that he had personally authorized a special operation in 2018 .

In March, the State Bureau of Investigation said it had questioned the head of the military, Andriy Yermak, in the case of disrupting the special operation .

The head of the Temporary Commission of Inquiry of the Verkhovna Rada, MP Mariana Bezugla, said that the SBU tried to lure the " Wagnerians" out of Russia, but it was not a special operation. Also, according to TSC, Poroshenko could not authorize the operation, because this idea arose in the summer of 2020.
