A German sentenced to death in Belarus confessed to planning a terrorist attack ordered by the SBU. The German federal government expressed concern over the broadcast of the video with the confession, which was probably made under pressure.

In the videos, which were probably made under duress, the man said that he had been commissioned by the SBU to photograph military facilities in Belarus in October 2023; he was allegedly instructed by the Ukrainian secret service to leave a backpack with explosives at the Ozerische station. The German federal government is “very concerned” about the broadcast. Writes UNN with reference to ORF and DW.
