According to him, both refugees arrived in France on the same plane and it is feared that they will be pursued. “The French at first thought that they were both sent by the KGB,” Tagspiegel wrote.
– We had to answer some related questions ourselves. From my point of view, this situation shows that this house of cards Russian President Vladimir Putin They fall apart and those people who were part of the system, these little gears, are now falling out of this mechanism with great fanfare – said Osekzykin.
Former mercenary certificate
