Arsonists of military vehicles were detained in Kyiv and Cherkasy region

The SBU and the National Police detained two more henchmen of the Russian Federation who set fire to official vehicles of the Defense Forces in Kyiv and the Cherkasy region. The SBU press service reported this on Monday, August 26.

Suspect minibuses and military pickup trucks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and State Border Guard Service were selected.

For the aggressor’s money, the defendants first scouted the locations of potential targets and then tried to set them on fire with flammable mixtures.

The attackers filmed the fire on their own phone cameras for “reporting.”

In particular, in Kyiv they detained a resident of the temporarily occupied Krasnodon, Lugansk region, who moved to the capital and started working for Russian intelligence.

At the beginning of August this year, he received a “trial” task – to burn a military SUV in exchange for money. He did not receive the promised funds. Instead, the Russian representative threatened to hand over the letter to Ukrainian law enforcement officials.

While in the Cherkasy region they detained a local who, on orders from the Russian Federation, set fire to an evacuation vehicle of border guards that was being repaired.

After conducting further reconnaissance, the defendant put on a cloak for camouflage, arrived at the location and set fire to the car.

Law enforcement officials detained the attacker “hot on their heels.”

The two attackers are reportedly suspects and are in custody. They face up to eight years in prison.

We remind you that in Nikolaev the police exposed three minor arsonists of a military vehicle recruited by the Russian special services.

Also in Kyiv, a man set fire to a military vehicle for the promise of $3,000. In the Ivano-Frankivsk region, two local residents were detained who, for money, committed a series of arson attacks on military vehicles.
