The incident with the Ukrainian sabotage group in Russia’s Belgorod region caused deep concern and required great efforts, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.
On Monday, a Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group infiltrated the territory of the Grayvoronsky district of the region, prompting a counter-terrorist operation.
Earlier in the day, the region’s governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said that the elimination of consequences from the entry of a Ukrainian sabotage group into the territory of the region continues.
“Of course, what happened yesterday causes deep concern, it once again confirms that Ukrainian militants continue their activities against our country, it requires great efforts from us,” Peskov told a briefing.
Moscow believed that all participants of the Ukraine sabotage group were Ukrainian militants, the spokesman said.
“They are Ukrainian militants from Ukraine. There are many ethnic Russians living in Ukraine.
“But they are still Ukrainian militants. That is what we need to proceed from, and our special agencies will now, of course, find out the identities of those responsible,” Peskov said.
