The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has said that the detention of the alleged "SBU's agent" by the Russian FSB, who is suspected of preparing sabotage in Crimea, is another provocation and fake news that the Russian side uses to intimidate the population of the peninsula.

"The Russian FSB resorted to another provocation, informing about the detention of the alleged 'SBU's agent' in Crimea. We believe that such fake news is needed by Russian special services to intimidate the population of the peninsula, which increasingly expresses its dissatisfaction with the occupation authorities," the SBU's statement reads, posted by its press service.
