MOSCOW, April 1. /TASS/. Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) head Vasily Malyuk has received Russia’s warning in the form of counter-terrorism demands and the countdown clock is now ticking for him, Rodion Miroshnik, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s special envoy for the crimes of the Kiev regime, told the Soloviev Live TV show.

"Yesterday, this character whose arrest we have requested, <…> the thuggish-looking Comrade Malyuk, who currently heads the SBU, immediately burst into an angry speech, a patriotic one in Ukraine’s view, but we got the message that he has received the signal. He broke down in a fit of hysteria as he understands the consequences of how this mechanism should work. His countdown clock is ticking," Miroshnik warned.

According to the diplomat, Russia has initiated specific procedures "as we have every reason to deem Malyuk and an entire list of other persons in charge of Ukrainian state agencies as terrorists."
