Шеф СБУ Наливайченко в интервью "The Economist" о ситуации в 2015 году или ранее:
"Тюрьмы были переполнены сепарами, мы принялись убивать".
Были созданы эскадроны смерти, и люди пропадали в "библиотеках" и "лесопосадках".

In modern Ukraine, assassinations date back to at least 2015, when its domestic security service (SBU) created a new body after Russia had seized Crimea and the eastern Donbas region. The elite fifth counter-intelligence directorate started life as a saboteur force in response to the invasion. It later came to focus on what is euphemistically called “wet work”.Valentin Nalivaychenko, who headed the SBU at the time, says the switch came about when Ukraine’s then leaders decided that a policy of imprisoning collaborators was not enough. Prisons were overflowing, but few were deterred. “We reluctantly came to the conclusion that we needed to eliminate terrorists,” he says.
В первоначальной редакции стояло "ликвидировать людей", потом они спохватились и исправили на "террористов".
