The Kyiv Regional Prosecutor's Office has reported a 21-year-old resident of Bucha to the police on suspicion of committing a terrorist act.
This was reported by the press service of the department.
According to the case materials, in March of this year, the guy was recruited through an online game by the Russian special services. Later, he communicated with the curator in the messenger, where he received instructions and funds for training. For each explosion carried out, they promised 25 thousand hryvnias.
According to the instructions, the suspect purchased the necessary components, manufactured two improvised explosive devices, and prepared them for remote detonation.
On March 23, one of the devices went off near a residential building in Bucha. The explosion damaged the building's facade, windows, and parked cars. The second device went off after law enforcement officers arrived, injuring two of them.
“According to the investigation, the suspect's actions were aimed at intimidating the population and destabilizing the situation, which are characteristic features of a terrorist act. A pre-trial investigation is underway, and all persons involved are being identified, including the organizers and coordinators of the crime,” the report says.
During the search, synthetic drugs were also found on the suspect. The issue of additional legal qualification for their possession is being resolved. Currently, law enforcement officers have filed a petition with the court to choose a preventive measure – detention. The sanction of Part 2 of Article 258 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (terrorist act) provides for up to 12 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.
