Police officers, together with SBU employees, detained the 21-year-old perpetrator in accordance with Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine.
According to the suspect, he met an unknown person in a computer game.

For each completed 'task,' a reward of 25,000 hryvnias was promised," the police said.
Based on this fact, investigators of the Security Service of Ukraine, under the procedural guidance of the Kyiv Regional Prosecutor's Office, notified the suspect of suspicion under Part 2 of Article 258 (terrorist act) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine

Any offers of "easy money" related to performing suspicious tasks are dangerous and can have serious legal consequences.
