Then he filmed the fire with his phone camera to "report" to the Russian secret service.
The saboteur was detained in hot pursuit as a result of a special operation in Kyiv.
According to the available data, the attacker was to prepare several more arson attacks on key Ukrzaliznytsia facilities. In this way, the enemy hoped to damage the logistics of the Defense Forces

The saboteur is currently in custody. He faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
