Ukraine exchanges FSB agent Olga Kulygina for group of captives (photo)
She is one of the most valuable Russian agents captured by Ukrainian troops in Donets Basin, experts say.
Ukrainian journalist Yuri Butusov has reported the exchange on Facebook.
Olga Kulygina was captured in May when Ukrainian frontier guards eliminated a column transporting weapons from Russia to Ukraine. She is the head of Russian agents used by Russia to control Russian nationalist groupings. She worked in Ukraine, Syria, Georgia and Transdniestria.
Kulygina “could be a very valuable witness at the trial of the Russian organization of the invasion of Ukraine”, Butusov thinks. She is a friend of FSB colonel Igor Girkin (former ‘DPR Minister of Defence’ and FSB Major General Alexander Borodai). Olga took arms to fight Ukrainian troops in Sloviansk.
Not all Ukrainian special services supported the exchange.
