During the searches, mobile phones, components of homemade incendiary mixture and a bank card containing Russian currency were confiscated from the detainees.
Law enforcement officers detained a group of attackers who, by order of the Russian special services, were preparing to set fire to the vehicles of TCC servicemen on the front-line Dnieper. The SBU reported this on June 18.
It was noted that the defendants planned to use homemade incendiaries in the form of so-called “Molotov cocktails.”
To identify potential targets, members of the group drove around the city, where they tried to find parking lots where military personnel parked their vehicles. The attackers had to agree on the received coordinates and targets for the arson with their Russian curator.
The defendants managed to set fire to one of the vehicles. Further plans of the enemy were thwarted.
The attackers were four local residents, two of whom were 17 years old.
They noticed the aggressor at the beginning of this summer because of their activity on one of the telegram channels, where they were looking for easy money. For the destruction of a military vehicle, the Russians promised 3 thousand US dollars. To hide the transactions, the money had to go to a bank card issued in the name of a dummy.
Another task of the enemy is to distribute inscriptions slandering TCC employees on city buildings. In these ways, the invaders tried to create a “media image” for the Russian media about the existence of an anti-Ukrainian underground in the Dnepropetrovsk region.
During the searches, mobile phones, parts of a homemade incendiary mixture and a bank card containing Russian currency were confiscated from the detainees.
Detainees are informed of suspicion of willful destruction or damage to property. They are in custody. The issue of further qualification of their criminal actions is being resolved.
Earlier it was reported that the Russian special services, in order to destabilize the situation in Ukraine, encouraged minors to set fire to the cars of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers for money.
We remind you that in the Dnepropetrovsk region, an informant of the Russian special service was imprisoned, who spied on two directions of the defense of the Ukrainian troops at the same time.
