Following the consideration, investigating judge Ivan Dirko ruled to apply preventive measures in the form of detention without setting bail to the suspects," the statement said.
It is reported that, according to the materials of the petition, in January 2025, the 16-year-old suspect began communicating with representatives of the Russian special services on the Internet, who offered him to manufacture explosive devices, transport them, transfer them to certain persons, and perform work on the undermining of critical infrastructure and individuals for a monetary reward.
Subsequently, the boy reportedly engaged three of his acquaintances at the direction of the Russian representative, and they began to make an improvised explosive device.
In early February 2025, on the instructions of a representative of the Russian Federation, as stated in the court report, they delivered the explosives to the city of Poltava, where they handed them over to a 42-year-old resident of Poltava region, who also cooperated with representatives of the Russian Federation.
