Kiev, June 1, Interfax - Volunteer monk, the Pravy Sector (banned in Russia - IF) activist Alexey Tsymbalyuk - former Archdeacon Aristarch of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the so-called Kiev Patriarchate said that he was asked to be the executor of Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko’s murder, after such order he turned to the Ukrainian Security Service.
"SBU hasn’t let me down, everything is ok with me... After the record of receiving prepayment for the murder was made public without changing my voice, I don’t see any sense in hiding," Tsymbalyuk wrote in Facebook on Thursday.
He noted that he signed a paper about not spreading information, "so it won’t be any interviews in the nearest future."
Tsymbalyuk participated in Kiev’s military operation in east Ukraine and according to his account lives in Odessa.
On May 29, media and Ukrainian authorities reported that Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko, who had worked for ATR TV in Kiev since 2017, was shot dead in the hall of the block-of-flats in the Ukrainian capiltal. Next day SBU head Vasily Gritsak reported that Babchenko’s "murder" was a part of the Ukrainian law-enforcers special operation aimed at preventing his assassination and Babchenko himself participated in the briefing with representatives of the media.
