Two groups of arsonists who “hunted” military vehicles in Zaporizhzhia and Kropyvnytskyi for Russian money are detained

The Security Service and the National Police detained red-handed four more accomplices of Russian special services who committed arson attacks in Zaporizhzhia and Kropyvnytskyi. The enemy's targets were official SUVs of the Defense Forces and relay cabinets at Ukrzaliznytsia facilities. This was reported by the Security Service of Ukraine, UNN reports.

Reportedly, the occupiers remotely formed two groups of arsonists, including three minors, to commit the arsons.

For a monetary “reward,” they first searched for potential targets and then tried to destroy them with flammable mixtures.

The defendants filmed each fire, which the Russian curators planned to use to “dispel” fakes about the alleged existence of an anti-Ukrainian underground in both cities.

️ For example, in Zaporizhzhia , two local residents were detained for setting fire to several military pickups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that were undergoing maintenance after completing combat missions at the front.

Later, they reportedly received a new “order” from Russia to destroy the relay cabinets of Ukrzaliznytsia's signaling installations in order to disrupt the logistics of the Defense Forces in southern Ukraine.
