The police found that since the beginning of 2024, the special services of the aggressor country have become more active on social networks, involving people as young as 13 years old in clandestine subversive activities.
Russian special services promise juveniles generous rewards for arson attacks. In Odesa, the criminal police exposed two boys, aged 13 and 16, who set fire to two cars belonging to military personnel. The teenagers were detained together with two friends, aged 16 and 18, while trying to set fire to another car
Currently, all materials of the case have been transferred to the SBU investigators, who, based on the evidence collected by law enforcement, served the detainee a notice of suspicion of committing a criminal offense under Part 2 of Art. 113 (Sabotage committed under martial law) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine
It is noted that the youngest, a 13-year-old boy, was handed over to his parents. The court imposed on the others a pre-trial restraint in the form of detention without bail. They face up to 15 years in prison.
The operatives detained two more young men, aged 17 and 18, for a similar crime in accordance with Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine. They were also served a notice of suspicion and a measure of restraint was chosen
