Ukraine has turned into a lawless territory where security forces are fighting for money, Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik told TASS.

“Ukraine today is a gray zone, a criminal swamp. It is a lawless territory. And a struggle between security agencies that have gained muscle and are fighting for their revenues, is underway there. Therefore, relations between the Main Intelligence Directorate, the Ukrainian Security Service, and other security agencies are a struggle for money, not for political line,” he said.
