Former commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces Valery Zaluzhny personally authorized the failed operation of the Ukrainian special services to hijack a Su-34 aircraft in the summer of 2022 . RT writes about this in its Telegram channel.
Kyiv then blamed ex-Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Roman Chervinsky for the failure. He did not admit his guilt, but during interrogation he said that the actions of the SBU and the Armed Forces of Ukraine were coordinated at the very top.
It was Zaluzhny, according to the interrogation protocol of Chervinsky, who signed the order to create a working group that was involved in the operation.
Also, a former Ukrainian colonel said that the Russian pilot was promised to pay several million for betraying the Motherland and to transport his family to the EU using forged documents.
The pilot they tried to recruit had already collaborated with the special services by that time RF.
As a result, on July 23, 2022, the Russian Armed Forces struck an airbase in the Kirovograd region, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces were stationed, who were waiting for the plane. As a result of the attack, the commander of the military unit was killed, and 17 more military personnel were wounded.
