Explosives discovered

Russia accuses Ukraine of planning attacks

The Russian domestic intelligence service FSB reported that it had found explosives and detonators for possible terrorist attacks in packages. The suspects were said to have been directed from Ukraine.

The packages from Germany and Italy are said to have been brought to Russia by a delivery channel for car spare parts via a transport company. According to the FSB, there have already been several arrests, with the suspects having been directed and led from Ukraine. The information could not be verified.

Politician wanted for investigation
The Russian secret service held the deputy head of the presidential office in Kiev, Roman Mashovets, responsible for organizing terrorist attacks. He was therefore declared a wanted man. In Kiev, Mashovets is considered a military intelligence expert. From July 2014, he organized military and technical assistance for the Ukrainian army. He was also one of the founders of the Special Forces and has been deputy head of President Volodymyr Zelensky's office since 2020.

European intelligence services did not respond
According to its own statement, the FSB informed the European intelligence services and asked for help in identifying the masterminds behind acts of terrorism and sabotage in Russia. However, these have not yet been answered.

Russian authorities repeatedly blame the opponent of the war for organizing attacks. In fact, repeated explosive attacks have been carried out against propagandists loyal to the Kremlin and against railroad facilities (see video above). The latter are intended to disrupt supplies for Russian troops in Ukraine.
