Not the Cursed Thread - robkelk - 05-30-2018 Russian journalist shows up at Kyiv news conference after death faked You might have heard about journalist Arkady Babchenko being gunned down in Kyiv two days ago; it made the news worldwide. Thing is, he wasn't gunned down. It was a sting. And the people who were trying to kill him - Ukrainians in the pay of Russians - took the bait. Quote:Hrytsak said killing Babchenko was part of a larger alleged plot by Russian security services. The Ukrainian man was also supposed to procure large quantities of weapons and explosives, including 300 AK-47 rifles and "hundreds of kilos of explosives," to perpetrate acts of terror in Ukraine, he said. Reporters Without Borders is unimpressed by this... but it's saved at least 30 lives, so I'm not going to complain. |
