UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) – Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said Wednesday it had dismantled a spy ring in Crimea organized by the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, which was plotting acts of terror and sabotage on critical and life-supporting elements of the peninsula's infrastructure.
Earlier in the day, Ukraine's permanent mission to the United Nations said that Kiev will initiate consultations at the UN Security Council following the latest events in Crimea.
"This was a clear act of sabotage and terrorism. So I am very surprised that they raised the issue with the UN Security Council," Churkin said ahead of the UN Security Council session.
The incursion into Crimea, which non-permanent Security Council member Kiev denies, is expected to be held behind closed doors in the coming hours.
