Ukraine’s secret service has discovered a mole in the team that went to negotiate with the Russians in Belarus on Monday. This is reported by Ukrainian media. Denis Kireev was reportedly shot dead “when he resisted arrest for high treason”.
In footage from Monday, Kireev can be seen at the very back of the negotiating table, on the side of the Ukrainian delegation. It was led by Davyd Arakhamia (third from the right in the photo).
The talks took place in Homel, the second-largest city in Belarus. It is also there that the man would have been unmasked.
