Law enforcement officers detained eight more Russian agents who committed sabotage in the south, and two persons whom the enemy used “in the dark” for arson in western Ukraine. The SBU reported this on September 13. It is noted that the defendants were men aged 19 to 73 years remotely recruited by Russians who were offered “easy money.”. The occupiers recruited two more by posing as SBU officers.. According to the SBU, a local unemployed man was detained in Odessa, who, by order of the enemy, was preparing to blow up a railway line while a train was moving.. The security service identified the Russian agent in advance and detained him when he tried to plant an improvised explosive device under the rails. It was established that the defendant took the explosives from a cache prepared in advance by the Russians. Also in Odessa region, seven more defendants were detained who set fire to relay cabinets on the local railway in order to complicate the transport logistics of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The attackers used flammable mixtures, and after the arson they recorded the fire on camera for a “report” to curators from the Russian Federation. In addition, in Lvov, two 19-year-old local residents were identified who, on instructions from the Russians, set fire to the local post office and the entrance doors to the apartments of Lvov residents. It is noted that Russian intelligence services recruited young men by posing as SBU officers. And the assigned tasks were presented as “participation in a special operation”. According to the “legend” that the enemy provided to the defendants, “malicious criminals” operating against Ukraine were hiding at these facilities. Thus, the occupiers wanted to take advantage of the patriotism and trust of Ukrainians in the security forces in order to use them to commit sabotage. Currently, all detainees have been informed of suspicion in accordance with the crimes committed - sabotage committed by prior conspiracy by a group of persons under martial law; intentional destruction or damage to property by arson.

The defendants face from 10 years in prison to life imprisonment with confiscation of property. Let us remind you that in Transcarpathia a 22-year-old man was convicted of trying to set fire to a strategic facility of Ukrzaliznytsia by order.. Earlier it was reported that six FSB agents were detained who were preparing terrorist attacks against military personnel of the Defense Forces.
