Law enforcers detain 2 FSB agents who committed arson attacks in north of Ukraine

Security Service counterintelligence and the National Police detained two more russian agents who were engaged in arson attacks on Ukrainian Defense Forces vehicles and mobile communications facilities on the orders of the FSB. This is said in a statement by the SSU.

According to the case file, both offenders fell into the enemy's sights when they were looking for "easy money" on Telegram channels.

A 29-year-old unemployed man who evaded mobilization and worked for the FSB was exposed in Kyiv in hot pursuit. On the instructions of the enemy special service, the agent tried to destroy the SUV of an Armed Forces soldier who had recently arrived from the front line.

To do this, the agent arrived at the parking lot of the military vehicle in the dark, set it on fire and recorded it on a phone camera to "report" to the occupiers. Soon, law enforcement officers detained the suspect near the crime scene.

A 22-year-old resident of the Chernihiv Region was detained for starting a fire on the territory of a local mobile phone tower and burning a crossover delivering volunteer aid to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

SSU officers detained the perpetrator of the crime when he was heading to the location where he was going to burn two more Ukrainian military vehicles.

During the searches, evidence of subversive activities in favor of the russian federation was seized from the perpetrators.

Currently, they have been notified of suspicion in accordance with the crimes committed under several articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:

• Part 2, Art. 15, Part 2, Art. 113 (completed attempted sabotage committed under martial law);
• Part 1, Art. 114-1 (obstruction of the lawful activities of the Armed Forces and other military formations)
• Part 2, Art. 194 (intentional destruction of property by arson).

The offenders are in custody. They face life imprisonment with confiscation of property.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, in Zaporizhzhia, law enforcement officers detained a man who is suspected of attempting to kill a Ukrainian serviceman on the order of the russian FSB.
