UPA was accused to be behind some of these deaths : the day after Buzina’s murder, Ukrainian political scientist Volodymyr Fesenko received an e-mail message from a group calling itself "Ukrainian Insurgent Army" and claiming responsibility for the murders of several people:

"We are commencing a ruthless insurgent struggle against the anti-Ukrainian regime of traitors and Moscow’s cads, and from now on, we shall talk to them only in the language of arms until their complete destruction".

Their Facebook page claimed:

"We shall always provide protection and support for the unknown patriots who took upon themselves a hard work of cleansing the Ukrainian land of internal occupants like Buzina and Kalashnikov".
