The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) arrested a 69-year-old Russian citizen in the Krasnodar region, who allegedly prepared a terrorist attack against a Russian military officer, acting under the instructions of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).
The man was born in Ukraine but has been living in Russia, in Anapa, since 1980. He decided to retire and move to Ukraine. Through an acquaintance, he passed a polygraph test in Kiev, after which he was offered a job in the SBU.
At the behest of his handler, he returned to the Krasnodar region in order to conduct a reconnaissance of the Black Sea coastline to gather information and pass it on to the enemy.
After that, the man was tasked with preparing an act of sabotage and terrorism in Rostov-on-Don against a serviceman of the Russian Armed Forces. He received the coordinates of a hidden cache containing explosive devices capable of remote detonation.
The investigative department of the FSB for the Krasnodar region opened a criminal case under Article 275 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (treason).
