Russia has demanded Ukraine arrest Vasyl Malyuk for working with ISIS for the Moscow Terror Attack, and for taking credit for the 2022 attack on the Crimea Bridge.
Russia is now demanding that Ukraine immediately stop any support for terrorist activities, compensate the damage caused to the victims, and also arrest and extradite to Russia all those involved in the terrorist attack.
Lots of "laugh" reactions to this post on T-gram, but this appears to be Russia dotting the i's and crossing the t's prior to escalation.
Obviously, Ukraine will *never* do that . . . and that is what Russia is waiting for . . .
When Ukraine denies... the legal grounds for designating the SBU a terror organization will be laid.
Any supporters of the terror org. will also be labeled terror entities.
Political leadership and the AFU can then be intentionally targeted militarily by Russia.
It may also complicate foreign aid for Ukraine.
Once Ukraine refuses, Russia can declare the entire Ukrainian regime to be material supporters of terrorism, and the Ukrainian government itself, the infrastructure of terrorism - thereby opening the way for Russia to intentionally destroy all of it.
