The Security Service of Ukraine reported the suspicion to the military intelligence officer, Colonel Roman Chervynskyi. He is known for the fact that in 2019, he secretly took Volodymyr Tsemakh, who was the commander of the Air Defense Forces, from the territory of the DPR, and was involved in the downing of the Boeing MH-17. Also, in July 2020, there was an attempt by the Ukrainian security forces to detain 28 Wagner fighters. In the spring of 2022, Roman Chervynskyi's team decided to lure a Russian military pilot to Ukraine along with the plane. They began to write to Russian pilots and offer them a monetary reward for such actions. Some of the Russians agreed and according to the plan of the operation, the Russian pilot should fly at a low altitude to a certain place in Ukraine, and inform the Russian dispatchers that he was hit. Then the Russian would get money, new documents and hide in Europe. The Russian pilot was supposed to land the plane at the Kanatove airfield in the Kirovohrad region on July 23, 2022. The plan proved tragic. Instead of a plane, the Russians fired 9 missiles at the airfield. As a result of the attack, the commander of the military unit was killed and 17 Ukrainian soldiers were injured. Also, two combat aircraft of the Air Force of Ukraine were completely destroyed. The runway and other buildings suffered extensive damage. Russian special services revealed Roman Chervinskyi's plan and outwitted him. Vasyl Mamluk, head of the Security Service of Ukraine, points out that Chervynskyi did not receive the management's consent to conduct the operation.
