Avakov: The current Maidan is the FSB project

The Maidan in its current form is a project of the FSB and marginal parties. According to Lenta.ru, the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Arsen Avakov stated this on the air of the Ukrainian television channel TSN.

"What is now happening on the Maidan is a discredit of its meaning, it is the sale of Ukraine in retail. The concentration of incomprehensible, unsympathetic, inveterate people on the main square of the country is the project of the Russian FSB of Russia and the marginal parties that have gone the past," Avakov said.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has a complete dossier to those who are engaged in unlawful activities, "hiding behind the Maidan", assured Avakov and advised those who refuse to leave the square in the center of Kyiv, "take weapons and go to the front." At the same time, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs added that a plan was developed, "how to end this shame."

The tent town in the center of Kyiv was defeated in November 2013 by supporters of European integration of the country. Subsequently, after the victory of Euromaidan and the overthrow of President Viktor Yanukovych, some of the activists remained in the square. The city authorities repeatedly called on the protesters to free the city center to restore traffic along the main highways, but activists ignored these requirements.

With the demand to free the Maidan from the activists who have been there for more than six months, the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Vitaly Yarem also spoke. At the same time, he threatened those protesters who refuse to submit to criminal prosecution.

On July 10, the prosecutor of Kyiv Sergey Yuldashev demanded that the city authorities immediately begin the process of liberation of the Maidan from the protesters. Yuldashev noted that the criminal situation in the center of Kyiv remains "extremely tense." According to him, only in April there were four killings and over ten robberies.
