FSB Detains Swedish Citizen Plotting Sabotage at Russia Military Objects
The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) said on Thursday that it had detained a Swedish citizen in the Pskov Region who planned acts of sabotage at military facilities under the pretext of joining the Russian armed forces.
"The Federal Security Service of Russia has detained a Swedish citizen in ... the Pskov Region who illegally crossed the state border of Russia from the territory of a neighboring state," the FSB said in a statement.
Between February and June, the foreign national served in the military on a contract basis as the commander of a squad of unmanned aerial systems in an organization recognized as terrorist in Russia, the statement read, adding that there are documents confirming his participation in combat operations against Russia as part of the armed forces of the country.
"Under the pretext of joining the Russian armed forces, he entered Russia to carry out sabotage and terrorist acts at military facilities," the statement said.
The detained Swedish citizen served in the Ukrainian nationalist battalion Aidar (terrorist organization banned in Russia), he said in a video provided to Sputnik by the FSB.
"I signed a contract with Aidar in the city of Ternopol [also known as Ternopil], and we were sent to undergo training. We learned to operate FPV drones for reconnaissance and surveillance purposes, and I also trained others. They wanted to use me and force me into carrying out sabotage and terrorist attacks in Russia," the man said.
The detainee also confessed to being a volunteer for the Foreign Legion organization, which is involved in recruiting foreigners into the Ukrainian army.
