FSB Foils Series of Ukraine-Run Plots to Assassinate Top Russian Defence Officials
11:54 26.12.2024 (Updated: 11:55 26.12.2024) MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The Russian FSB has thwarted a plot by Ukrainian special services to assassinate high-ranking Russian Defence Ministry officials, who participate in the special military operation, along with their families.
"The Federal Security Service of Russia has prevented a series of terrorist attacks planned by the Ukrainian special services against high-ranking officials of the Russian Defence Ministry, taking part in the special military operation, and against their relatives. As a result of the measures taken, four Russian citizens involved in the preparation of the aforementioned assassinations were detained," the FSB said in a statement.
Additionally, a Moscow resident recruited by the Ukrainian special services to gather intelligence on the targets has been identified, the security service said.
The delivery of bomb components to Russia has been carried out by the Ukrainian special services in household appliances, tools, and car parts, the statement read, adding that self-made explosives and communication devices used in criminal activities have been seized from the detained.
"An explosive device, disguised as a charging device [power bank] with magnets attached to it, was to be planted under the service vehicle of a high-ranking executive in the Russian Defence Ministry, driven by the executive's close relative," the FSB said, adding that the explosion itself was planned to be set off remotely from Ukraine's territory.
In relation to another serviceperson, a terrorist act has been planned with the involvement of two Russian citizens — who are detained now — who were supposed to deliver to him a self-made explosive device disguised as a document folder. The device has been supposed to be extracted from a stash in the Moscow Region located at the coordinates provided by a Ukrainian citizen living in Poland.
"Based on the facts gathered by the Federal Security Service, criminal cases have been opened ... the detainees are charged with direct involvement in illicit trafficking of explosives and explosive devices, preparation of terrorist acts, as well as committing high treason. The punishment for these offences includes life imprisonment," the statement read.
