In the city of Gus-Khrustalny, Vladimir region of the Russian Federation, on the evening of December 25, a car drove into the building of the military commissariat. The driver crashed into the gate and then set the car on fire, RosSMI reported.
Local authorities called the driver “another victim of Ukrainian scammers.” The man was detained and is giving evidence. A criminal case was opened.
The Mediazona publication calculated that from December 13 to December 24, Russians attacked banks, police vehicles and other objects at least 50 times under the influence of “phone fraudsters.” Most of the attacks took place on December 20 and 21.
At least six of those jailed for the arson were charged with terrorism, and another 11 were charged with intentional damage to property.
It was noted that this is the largest wave of attacks under the influence of scammers. The previous major wave of attacks occurred between July 29 and August 3, 2023, with 37 arson attacks.
