British intelligence chief MI6 Richard Moore said Putin’s plans to invade Ukraine included executions carried out by his military and intelligence services.
He wrote about this in response to a message by British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss on Twitter .
Truss said those responsible for the atrocities committed by Russian troops in Bucha, Irpen and other cities in Ukraine must be held accountable.
“Putin’s regime will not be allowed to hide its involvement in these atrocities,” she said.
According to Moore, British intelligence knew that the executions were part of the plans of the President of the Russian Federation.
“We knew that Putin’s plans for the invasion included extrajudicial executions of him by the military and intelligence agencies. Reports of executions of civilians coming from the liberated areas are horrific and frightening,” he wrote.

MI6 stated before the war that the putinazi plan was to murder civilians to keep them in fear and execute local officials in public. It seemed unbelievable at the time.
When Putin 1st mentioned it I said that he would be murdering people to subjugate the country.
