MOSCOW, December 6 (Sputnik) — The Russian Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case against three Ukrainian officials for public calls for terrorist activity, the committee's spokesperson Vladimir Markin said Saturday.

"The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, upon obtaining data on Ukrainian deputies Yury Beryoza, Andrei Levus and Igor Mosiychuk, has opened a criminal case for an offense under Article 205.2 of Russia's Criminal Code [public calls for terrorist activities or public approval of terrorism]," Markin said.

In particular, Mosiychuk, a paramilitary battalion commander and a lawmaker representing the nationalist Radical Party, said that "being in the state of war, Ukraine should encourage opening a second and third front in the Caucasus and Central Asia".
