Kharysava explains why she fell for the KGB provocation

Yesterday, on his STB program "Without Cover," propagandist Raman Pratasevich showed a video in which political scientist, expert of Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya's Office, and member of the Coordination Council Alina Kharysava agrees to cooperate with the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), and then demonstrated excerpts from her messages forwarded to "curators" (who turned out to be KGB officers or other similar structures).

Kharysava immediately posted her version of events on Facebook, and today she supplemented her explanations.

"A small update to close a few additional questions. And to provide comments after a full, detailed viewing of the video.

1. I was not offered payment, I didn't sell myself, I didn't take anything. This is a fabrication for the plot.
2. If you listen to the audio recordings in the video, it becomes clear that 3 out of 4 were generated by a neural network. The fourth is general information that has been voiced by a large number of people everywhere possible and impossible.
3. In the screenshots, I deliberately lied or changed the subject: I lied about not having plans to move from Lithuania, changed the subject from Karīms (referring to Karīms Pētersons – head of international communications at the Office. — NN) to the fact that we can speak the same language, evaded direct answers about Siarhei (referring to Siarhei Tsikhanouski. — NN) by referring to what was already in public discourse. If my friends ask me or just a random person writes to me in private messages with these questions, this is what I can afford to write in response. In further public communication, I will go through each screenshot in detail, as during the verification.
4. Of everything they have on me, it's this damned circular video, and they made an entire story out of it (referring to the video where Kharysava says she agrees to cooperate with the SBU. — NN).
5. Agreeing to cooperate with any special services is bad, yes. But at that moment, I did not perceive it as an agreement to cooperate. It's a damned circular video. They didn't persuade me to sign anything.
6. At that moment, they were playing a game on two fronts. They put pressure on me from the KGB side, even catching my relatives in hospitals, taking them to their cars, calling me from the phones of my detained relatives, forcing me to respond to a message from the KGB from their phones. Simultaneously, they wrote to me from this "alleged SBU" account, offering help and advising me on how to behave with intelligence officers in a situation of such a massive attack. At a moment when no one could help, and you just want to save the lives of people inside the country, this became my painful point.
7. The offer to record a circular video came at the beginning of the communication. In return, they promised to tell me what to do with the "gebešniki" (KGB agents) so they would leave me alone, and also to provide some internal information from the Ukrainian side that would be useful to us. At that moment, there was no talk of any data leaks from my side.
8. They say that I shared screenshots from closed chats, data about volunteers, etc. But I did not share ANY such thing with them. They could not and will not be able to present A SINGLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE. Unless, of course, they also generate something."
