According to data by Information Resistance group, the Commander of the Fifth Service of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (territorial intelligence) [see Federal Security Service #5], Colonel-General Sergei Orestovoch Beseda, arrived in Ukraine on February 20, 2014 after the shootings on Maidan took place.

An unofficial delegation of seven people joined him in Boryspil, including Vladislav Surkov, the “Ukrainian scenario” supervisor in the Kremlin.

Volodymyr Valentynovych Bik, Major General with the SBU, as well as the coordinator of all activities regarding the forceful dispersion of Maidan (who appears in the so-called “Hennadiy Moskal documents” where his role is understated) met the distinguished guests at the airport.

According to our sources, this group was sent to Kyiv by the Kremlin to influence Viktor Yanukovych, the Ukrainian President at the time, and it was Surkov who gave the command to hold a Kharkiv Separatist Congress.

In addition to the statement by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, that Beseda was seemingly “in contact with the SBU to assess the security level and protection of the Russian embassy and ‘other Russian institutions’ in Kyiv,” we would like to clarify that it is actually the FSB agents who provide the protection of the Russian diplomatic mission in Kyiv. However, they belong to the Border Service of the FSB of Russia.

That is, the “border” protection of the diplomatic mission of the Russian Federation in Ukraine has no special relation to the “intelligence” Fifth Service of the FSB which is headed by Colonel-General Beseda.

Here’s the full list of the delegation of the FSB and Kremlin officials, who arrived in Kyiv by an 1818 Aeroflot flight “Sheremetyevo-Boryspil” [with the arrival time of 7:40 pm]:
