According to Ukrainian security officials, the detainee had previously fought in the militia of the republics of Donbass and was recruited by the GRU of Russia.
“From the Russian curator he received the task to return to his native Kharkov and form a sabotage group. The militant was given a list of Ukrainian political and public figures against whom the Russian special services ordered to organize terrorist attacks. During searches at the saboteur’s place of residence in Kharkov, intelligence officers seized almost a kilogram of explosives (according to preliminary conclusions - plastid), five electric detonators, a pistol with a silencer, one hundred rounds of ammunition for it and a combat quadcopter, which was planned to be used in committing a terrorist attack,” it says in a message from the SBU.
