The Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office (PGO) has received a request from the Russian Prosecutor's Office Investigative Committee to help investigate the possible involvement of Ukrainian citizens in the Caucasus conflict and submitted the document for consideration by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), the PGO press service said on Tuesday.
“The Prosecutor General’s Office has received a request from the
investigative committee of the Russian Prosecutor’s Office and
