OREANDA-NEWS  The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) shot 20 people in Berislav in the Kiev-controlled part of the Kherson region and is preparing a provocation to blame Russia for what happened. This is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to a representative of Russian law enforcement agencies who received information from sources in the SBU.

"According to information from our sources in the SBU, on the territory of the Berislav Machine—Building Plant, SBU officers shot 20 people from among civilians and former law enforcement officers of Berislav from among the local population who collaborated with Russia in the summer and autumn of this year," said an employee of the Russian law enforcement agencies.

He also noted that now the SBU is preparing to film the extraction of the bodies of the executed residents of the Kherson region in order to present them as "victims of Russian repression."

Earlier, an officer of the People's Militia (NM) of the LNR, Andrei Marochko, said that the SBU was arresting residents of the settlements of Nevsky and Makeyevka of the Luhansk People's Republic (LNR), which are temporarily under the control of Kiev, for receiving humanitarian aid and social payments in the region.
