FSB: Ukrainian filmed a video against Uzbeks disguised as a Russian nationalist
Employees of the Federal Security Service (FSB) of the Russian Federation have identified the person who recorded a video for YouTube with statements on behalf of an alleged Russian nationalist about hostility to representatives of Uzbek nationality. This was reported in the Public Relations Center (PRC) of the agency on February 1.
The attacker turned out to be a Ukrainian Nikolai Kochmarik, born in 1984, a native of the Nikolaev region.
"A person was identified who in the Internet on behalf of an alleged citizen of the Russian Federation in a national-chauvinistic manner made statements about representatives of the Uzbek nation. <...> The person is a citizen of Ukraine Kochmarik Nikolay Nikolaevich, <...> currently on the territory of Ukraine and supporting the AFU", - said in the CSB.
The FSB noted that the video was posted on a YouTube channel controlled by the Lithuanian security services. Having been disseminated in social networks, the recording caused a wide resonance among both Uzbek and Russian public.
This incident shows that Ukraine and Lithuania together with Western curators intentionally create provocative content on the Internet to undermine Russia's relations with partners in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), as well as trying to form anti-Russian sentiments abroad, the Russian Federal Security Service emphasized.
On the same day, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova, commenting on the FSB report, emphasized that Ukraine would not succeed in quarreling Russia with the CIS countries. Zakharova recalled that the unity of the peoples of the Russian Federation is one of the officially enshrined traditional values of the state. According to her, the friendship with the CIS nations "cannot be undermined by either video fakes or paid provocations from abroad".
