Main points from Secretary of the NSDC Ihor Klymenko’s statements at a meeting with journalists:
🔹 “I was shocked, honestly,” — that was Klymenko’s reaction to his surname being mentioned on NABU recordings in the “Carthage” case. Asked about conversations among participants of “Khimprom,” linked to U420, regarding the possibility of arranging deals with people from his circle, he replied: “No one approached me at all. I never had such conversations with anyone.”
🔹 Asked about possible assistance from law enforcement to the U420 network, Klymenko said that there were “agents of influence” in related law enforcement agencies who sold information to its members.
🔹 According to Klymenko, the head of “Khimprom,” nicknamed “Mexican,” threatened to trigger a political crisis and secure his dismissal. Klymenko also said the group created a network of Telegram channels and news websites to spread fakes. “It was an element of pressure,” he said.
🔹 Klymenko stated that “Khimprom” could continue trying to destabilize the situation in Ukraine using money and connections. In his view, this poses a threat to national security both during the war and after its end.
🔹 Members of the U420 network wanted to earn up to half a million dollars a week in Kyiv, Klymenko said. “If I remember correctly,” he clarified.
🔹 Klymenko confirmed that the National Police conducted checks concerning illegal call centers. At the same time, asked about the dismissal of the head of the Department of Strategic Investigations, Andrii Rubel, he answered: “There were internal matters, but that was not related to the call centers.”
🔹 “Information-wise, we effectively lost the mobilization throughout this whole period,” Klymenko said, commenting on events in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka. According to his information, there were 29 streamers there. He also mentioned organized groups that profit from provocations.
