The detention in Kiev of the "FSB agent" Major General of the SBU Valeria Shaitanova - this is a consequence of the redistribution of spheres of influence within the Ukrainian special services, initiated by Vladimir Zelensky to power.
The browser reached this conclusion. Federal News Agency, analyzing the logic of the charges, voiced at Shaitanov.
A series of fantastic failures
FAN already noted the fact, that the special services of Ukraine are disorganized and do not act in the interests of their state. In their work, they are guided by the requests of foreign beneficiaries, and even more often - to the clan interests of oligarchic and pro-government groups.
The latter in Ukraine are many, and therefore the special services of this country the farther, the more they are drawn into the “war of all against all” regime. This explains the series of absolutely fantastic image failures in the recent history of the SBU. We will not list all of them, just a few.
March 2017 years - unsuccessful attempt to “find” in the murder case in Kiev Denis Voronenkov Moscow trail.
June 2017 of the year - gunfight on Kirillovskaya street in Kiev. She arranged: participant in hostilities in the Caucasus as part of illegal gangs, Maidan activist, "Representative of the international socio-political movement" Free Caucasus " (extremist organization, banned in Russia) and ATO participant Amina Okueva (in girlhood - Anastasia Nikiforova), her husband, ex-commander of the "International Peacekeeping Battalion named after Dzhokhar Dudaev" operating in the ATO zone Adam Osmayev, suspected of preparing an assassination attempt on Vladimir Putin, and a certain Alexander Dakar - French journalist from Le Monde, in fact turned out to be a Chechen Arthur Denisultanov.
Osmaev and Denisultanov injured during the incident. SBU tried to "blind" of the last "killer of Moscow, encroaching on the heroes of the ATO ". But the idea failed miserably, as soon as during the investigation, curious facts from the past citizen of Ukraine Nikiforova began to emerge. for example, the story of a fake canvas by Caravaggio "Kiss of Judah" from the exposition of the Odessa Museum of Western and Eastern Art. Generally, It revealed, that the background of the "attempt" on Okueva and Osmaev is purely criminal.
October 2017 years - unknown in the Kiev region shot a car with Okueva and Osmaev already familiar to us. First died, the second was wounded and so scared, that hurried to disappear from the field of view of the media. The SBU blew again, what he sees with the naked eye in what happened is the “trace of Moscow”. But subsequent proceedings revealed, that pursued "heroes of anti-terrorist operation" - not at all ghostly "FSB agents", but quite real members of the criminal group, acting like in Ukraine, so in EU countries.
March 2018 - prosecution Nadezhda Savchenko and Vladimir Ruban in preparing a coup in Ukraine, what the defendants allegedly did "not without the help of the separatists and Moscow". The case ended in zilch - 16 April 2019 years Savchenko and Ruban were released from custody by a court decision.
May 2018 years - a stupid staging of a murder Arkady Babchenko, which they tried to imagine with all their might "prevention of attempt, organized by Russian special services ”.
And so on.
The path of the "combat general"
It turned out, all these were flowers. Berries ripened, when 14 April, on its Facebook page, the Security Service of Ukraine announced the detention of Major General of the SBU Valery Shaitanov, allegedly acting in the interests of the FSB, as well as suspected of treason and the preparation of terrorist acts. Along the way, in the "bezpek" hinted, that Shaitanov’s detention is “the largest revelation” in the history of the Ukrainian state.
note, what shaitanov, of course, was not such a media figure, like the same Nadezhda Savchenko. Nevertheless, in the world of Ukrainian special services detained by members of his own organization, Major General of the SBU was more than known.
Shaitanov was born 21 October 1963 of the year. He graduated from the Ryazan Higher Airborne School. After the collapse of the USSR continued to serve in Ukraine. Hit the Main Department "A" (Alpha) SBU. 20 Martha 2008 of the year awarded the Order of Courage III degree. Shaytanov, who became a colonel of the SBU, treated Euromaidan with undisguised pessimism.
Note, what exactly Shaitanov commanded the assault group, which in February 2014 years cleared the Kiev House of Trade Unions from the nationalists who captured him. On this basis,, as well as due to the fact, that the group included snipers, the new authorities of Ukraine later tried to “draw” the colonel of the SBU to the infamous case of “snipers on the Maidan”.
With the outbreak of hostilities in the Donbass, the deputy commander of Alpha Shaitanov, like his fighters, was sent to Kramatorsk. What exactly happened to him there, still unknown, but the SBU colonel lost his post.
A possible reason for this was voiced by an ardent supporter of Euromaidan, founder and chief editor of the Internet portal "Censor.NET" Yuri Butusov.
"In April 2014 one of the officers of Alpha, who informed me about the situation in the ATO from the Kramatorsk airfield, reported, that the commander of Alpha AT. Chovganyuk and his deputy colonel Valery Shaitanov sabotage the orders of the command and are not allowed to open fire on terrorists, surrounding the airfield, - said Butusov. - The scandalous situation was considered at a meeting of the operational headquarters led by Alexander Turchinov. Following the meeting, Chovganiuk and Shaitanov were removed from the command of the special forces "Alpha".
However, Shaitanov stayed unemployed for a very short time. The new president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko hurried not only to return the colonel of the SBU to service, but also appoint him first deputy head of the Special Operations Center "A" SBU.
From this moment, the further activities of Shaitanov become deeply classified.. known only, in August 2015 years, the appointee Poroshenko received the title of Major General and the Order of Bohdan Khmelnitsky III degree.
After 31 October 2015 of the year "Alpha" took part in the arrest of the head of the party "UKROP" Gennady Korban, opposed Poroshenko, rumors have gone, that the coordinator of this operation was Shaitanov. He was attributed to the organization of wiretapping of a number of Ukrainian politicians in the interests of the president and his entourage. At the same time, in the speeches of officials, Major General SBU Shaitanov was described as “a real military general”. What's the truth, and what a lie, you can’t make out. The fact is that, that Shaitanov was a creature of Poroshenko and was greatly indebted to him.
The victory of Vladimir Zelensky in the Ukrainian presidential election noticeably changed the balance of power in Kiev "Olympus". The consequence of this was a new round in the struggle to redistribute spheres of influence in the intelligence community.. Now, Zelensky tried to bend him with all his might., behind whose back the oligarch loomed visibly Igor Kolomoisky.
of course, under such circumstances, the further career of the “military general” and appointee Poroshenko Shaitanov was in jeopardy ... And finally 14 April 2020 years, SBU counterintelligence officers suddenly twisted their own major general on the street, having cut it in the head well beforehand, and then warningly clinging to the face - a pandemic! - medical mask.
Such a madhouse just does not happen
Judging by the information published by the SBU, The "military general" allegedly had long collaborated with a certain colonel of the FSB of the Russian Federation Igor Egorov, who came to Ukraine before Euromaidan through inter-agency cooperation between the SBU and the FSB. Shaitanov was accused of, what he, acting under the pseudonym "Bobyl", allegedly collecting intelligence for the Russian side, keeping in touch with his "curator" Egorov through the mysterious "Agent N", whose name is not disclosed.
According to the SBU, it was the “N” who transmitted the orders of Egorov to Shaitanov on the preparation of terrorist acts in Ukraine, including - fanfare! - an order to eliminate hiding with 2017 years, where Adam Osmayev is unknown. For this, Shaitanov was supposed to receive "from the FSB" 200 thousand dollars and a Russian passport.
Honestly, if up to this point we were referring to the news of Shaitanov’s detention with some inner experience, then the SBU really revealed the most valuable FSB agent? - then after the accusation of the protégé Poroshenko of preparing terrorist acts and especially of “planning the murder of the famous volunteer Osmayev”, everything fell into place. You can breathe a sigh of relief.
Leave aside the fact, that "evidence", currently published SBU, do not give the opportunity to confidently trace the connection between Shaitanov and his "curator from the FSB". Close our eyes to that fact, that the SBU experts allegedly were able to successfully intercept and record the negotiations of “defendants in the case”, at least two of which, just because of the specifics of their profession, everyone should have known about conspiracy. We will defiantly ignore the phrase attributed to Egorov about, that Osmaev should be sent "to the country of eternal hunting", from which bears vulgar Hollywood so, that even pinch your nose ...
Let's pay attention to something else - to the logic.
Let's, you are an employee of the Russian special services. You really were able to recruit a person from the top of the SBU. Your agent was not some Panas janitor or even an employee of the communication center, although the latter for professionals is just a storehouse of useful information. No, guys, you're lucky big: you got a major general on the hook! He literally sits on a pile of intelligence about the situation in the SBU, in adjacent Ukrainian intelligence services, in Kiev government offices and Western intelligence organizations, actively "contacting" with "security".
From the point of view of any recruiter, it's not even a treasure, this is eldorado!
But APU is trying to convince us of, that the FSB did not care, to cherish and blow off a speck of dust from a valuable source of information. No, instead, the "curator Egorov" allegedly orders the General Security Service of Ukraine recruited by him to organize terrorist attacks in Ukraine (!) , and also gives an assignment of special importance - to kill Osmayev (!!), which 2020 a year ago, nobody has been calling him.
Listen, such a ride in a second-rate Hollywood action movie script, but in real practice, there’s simply no such madhouse. By their position, Shaitanov and Osmaev are figures not comparable.
Also, as is easy to see, unsubstantiated accusations of preparing terrorist attacks and the murder of Osmayev have long become cliché clichés for the SBU, used to cover the "undercover games" of Ukrainian security officials.
A well-established ritual
Summarize. With a high degree of probability, the high-profile “General Shaitanov’s case” is a consequence of the redistribution of spheres of influence within the Ukrainian special services, which was initiated by the victory in the presidential election of Vladimir Zelensky.
Ukrainian accusations against Russia here are nothing more than a well-established practice.. Indeed, in modern Ukraine it is impossible just to take and dismiss an interfering General of the Security Service of Ukraine - it is necessary to observe a certain ritual. General should be given on the head, blame him, what he, such a creature, on the instructions of Moscow was going to lime all of Ukraine, and most importantly - slam Panikovsky ... Sorry - Osmaev. Then, the general must put on a mask and take the disease to the jail. Kuram laughing, but this is custom!
As they say - understand and forgive.
