SBU has evidence of Russia's involvement in preparation of 'referendum' in eastern Ukraine with already known results
The Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) has received irrefutable evidence of the Russian side's preparing for and coordinating measures on the holding in the eastern regions of Ukraine of the so-called "referendum" on the creation of the "Donetsk People's Republic," with already known results, the SBU press center reported on Wednesday.
SBU released the audio recording of a conversation between the leader of the Russian Unity movement, Alexander Barkashov (Moscow), and the leader of the unregistered Orthodox Donbass organization, Dmytro Boitsov (Donetsk).
During the conversation Boitsov asks for Russian military support for the successful holding of the so-called referendum on May 11. Barkashov, in turn, proposes falsifying the results of the referendum.
"Obscene language is used during the conversation," SBU said.
SBU also released audio files with subtitles in Russian, English and German.
