(ANSA) - MOSCOW - Citizen 'G', the Ukrainian man accused of being the organizer of the attempted murder of the Russian reporter Arkady Babchenko, exiled in Kiev, was indicted on terrorism, Ukrainskie Novosti news agency reported. At the same time, the defense attorney of the citizen 'G' reported, through a post on Facebook, to consider the issue ''a very bad provocation''. ''The attempt to intimidate my client has failed, then we will have to see how everything will go on'', Yevgeny Solodko added. According to Strana, daily newspaper, the citizen 'G' might be an entrepreneur who supplied arms to the Ukrainian army and according to a source he might have been contacted by the Kiev services, asking him to participate in an operation of counter-intelligence. The man accepted - according to Strana - but his 'contact' has then disappeared. However, Ukrainian intelligence now claims that 'G' has worked for Russian services. (ANSA).
