Quote: "Following the investigation, in December 2024, a minor resident of Kirovohrad Oblast, on the instructions of a Russian representative, was to plant an explosive device at the entrance to the premises of one of the defence forces units in Kyiv Oblast. The enemy planned to detonate the explosives remotely, together with the boy, after he entered the building. The boy did not know about this particular plan."
Details: Two residents of Vinnytsia Oblast had previously constructed the tool for the terrorist attack on the instructions of a Russian handler and left it in the agreed place. Another member of the group ensured the movement of explosives between the caches.
It is reported that after arriving in Kyiv Oblast, the teenager checked into a hotel near the agreed place of the crime and acted on instructions he received via Telegram from a representative of Russia. He took a backpack with an improvised explosive device and a Ukrainian military uniform left in a certain place.
After changing into a military uniform, he arrived at the scene and planted explosives that were disguised in his backpack.
Thanks to the actions of law enforcement officers, the commission of a crime in a public place was prevented on time.
During the searches, law enforcement seized mobile phones with evidence of their cooperation with the Russians. The Security Service of Ukraine also seized 1.5 kilograms of explosive mixture for the construction of an improvised munition from one of the agents.
The Security Service of Ukraine investigators served the suspects a notice of suspicion under two articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
The detainees are held in custody without the right to be released on bail. They face life imprisonment and property confiscation.
