The Security Service of Ukraine, together with the National Police, detained a Russian agent in Odessa, who produced homemade explosive devices (SVPs) for the implementation of terrorist attacks in Ukraine. One of his "products" was already used on March 23 this year during an attack on the police department in the city of Bilyaevka, Odessa region.
According to the investigation, the explosive to the department was brought by the FSB published by a local resident, who blew up the device remotely - as a result, not only she but other people who became victims of this terrorist attack were killed.
As it turned out, the explosive device was made and handed over by the agent by a courier-a 44-year-old recidist from Dnipropetrovsk, who was hiding in Odessa. It was, according to operational information, who was a key link in the implementation of the terrorist attack. In the field of view of the Russian special services, a man got through his activity in Telegram channels, where he was looking for "fast earnings". After recruiting, he performed the FSB tasks - among other things, set fire to the cars of the Ukrainian military.
For the production of explosives, he rented an apartment in Odessa - the cost of rent was paid by the FSB. After a terrorist attack in Bilyaivka, the man constantly changed their place of residence and phone numbers, trying to avoid detention. However, the SBU set its location and detained it.
During the searches, a masked explosive device was found in the agent's apartment, hidden in the fire extinguisher housing. The explosion contained additional striking elements and a mobile phone that was to serve as a remote demolition. According to preliminary data, this device was planned to use for a new terrorist attack in the region in the near future.
Currently, the detainee has been reported suspicion under Part 3 of Art. 258 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - a terrorist act that led to the death of a person. He is threatened with life imprisonment with the confiscation of property.
