Kyiv • UNN
The head of the National Police reported 9 cases of sabotage, 3 of which involved attempts on police officers. Russian special services recruit mostly young people under the age of 20, promising money, but often eliminate the recruits.
The Russian special services are hunting for the Security and Defense Forces, police officers and specifically for employees of the TCC and JV, recruiting people to commit terrorist acts against them. This was announced by the head of the National Police of Ukraine Ivan Vygivskyi during a briefing, UNN reports.

Vyhivskyi said that 3 out of 9 cases of sabotage and terrorist attacks involved attempted murder of police officers.
Since last year, police officers have been aware that the Russian Federation, the Russian special services, are specifically hunting for all the Security and Defense Forces, including police officers and specifically the TCC and JV. Together with the SBU, we clearly understand that this is a specific attack by the Russian special services to create a false opinion in society, destabilize the situation and create a negative attitude towards the Security and Defense Forces in Ukraine,
According to him, in all such terrorist attacks committed this year, individuals were detained. Pre-trial restraints in the form of detention were imposed on them.
Vyhivskyi noted that offenders against police officers invent various ways to commit such crimes.
There was a case in one of the regions when a police unit was called and explosives were disguised as a child's toy in an apartment,
Vyhivskyi noted that they usually recruit young people - 20 years old or younger. As a rule, these are young people who do not realize the full responsibility. Or they are people with low social responsibility. In most cases, Russians do not pay the money they promise these individuals. In addition, the last two cases - in Rivne and Kamianets-Podilskyi - indicate that they are eliminating the recruits," Vyhivskyi said.
He cited an example of a person who died on the spot after handing over a bag of explosives in Kamianets-Podilskyi.
