Law enforcement officers in the capital have arrested a 19-year-old resident of the Kyiv region who, at the direction of the Russian special services, attempted to kill a Ukrainian serviceman. According to the investigation, the young man was recruited by representatives of the aggressor state to carry out a terrorist act against a defender of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Assassination Plan: Use of Explosives in a Scooter
The suspect began preparing for the crime in a rented apartment in Kyiv, where he independently manufactured an explosive device following instructions received from his handler. To implement the plan, he purchased a scooter through a classifieds website, in which he intended to hide the explosives. According to the executor’s plan, the booby-trapped vehicle was to be left at a designated address in the Dnipro district of the capital.
According to law enforcement, the explosion was supposed to occur remotely at the moment when the serviceman approached the scooter.
“However, by a stroke of luck, the explosives did not detonate properly, and the man remained unharmed.”
Arrest and Accountability
It is known that the suspect was promised a reward of 400,000 hryvnias for carrying out this criminal task. The young man is currently in custody and faces a lengthy prison sentence for attempting to commit a terrorist act.
