The
Ukrainian extremist group attempted to instigate mass unrest in Russia which
would lead to a coup d’état, according to the Russian prosecutor general.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Supporters of Ukraine’s Right
Sector made attempts to organize mass chaos in order
to instigate a coup d’état in Russia, according a report
by Russian Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika released Tuesday.
“Access to the pages of the social network
VKontakte were blocked that were being used by the Ukrainian Right Sector
nationalistic group to make attempts to organize mass unrest and
unsanctioned public protests with the
goal of instigating a coup
d’état in the Russian Federation,” the report reads.
The nationalist group gained notoriety for numerous
atrocities such as burning
alive and finishing 48 people in Odessa. Its militants have participated in the Donbass conflict, attacked striking coal
miners, detained probable
witnesses of their crimes in a
pit and threatened to undermine
the Minsk agreements. The group
was outlawed in Russia in January 2015.
