The counter-intelligence of the Security Service prevented a new terrorist attack in Chernihiv - an agent of the Russian special services was exposed, who was preparing to kill a Ukrainian serviceman with a homemade bomb. This was reported by UNN with reference to the SBU.
Details
The investigation established that the suspect was supposed to make an explosive device and plant it near an apartment building where the military man was supposed to arrive.
To lure the Ukrainian defender to the site of the planned terrorist attack, the FSB created a fake girl's account on a dating site, who then invited him "on a date." SBU officers exposed the enemy's plan in advance, neutralized the explosive device, and thus saved the AFU soldier.
The terrorist attack was prepared by a 35-year-old local deserter who came to the attention of the FSB when he was looking for "easy money" in Telegram channels. According to the instructions of the Russian curator, the agent was supposed to make an improvised explosive device and equip it with a mobile phone for remote activation.
He also placed a hidden mini-camera with remote access at the site of the planned terrorist attack. In this way, the Russians hoped to track the arrival of the military at the "location" and blow him up.
During searches, components for making an improvised explosive device hidden in a backpack and a smartphone from which he contacted the Russian special services officer were seized from the suspect.
Proceedings have been initiated against the detainee under Part 1 of Article 14, Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (treason committed under martial law). The detainee faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
Recall
