According to law enforcement officials, the Russian curators were going to organize a fake call to 102 to lure a police patrol and remotely detonate the explosives.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

SBU officers uncovered the plot during the preparation stage and detained the suspect in a hotel room where he was completing the manufacture of the device.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Investigators found out that the GRU recruited a 16-year-old from Odessa through a Telegram channel with offers of quick money. On the instructions of the curator, he arrived in Kharkiv, received the coordinates of the cache and took 4 kg of explosives, a mobile phone and components for the SVP.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In a hotel room, the young man assembled a bomb according to the instructions of a Russian intelligence officer. After completing the work, he was to receive the apartment address and keys to plant the explosives and a phone with remote access for the curators.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

During the searches, law enforcement officers seized an improvised explosive device and a smartphone with evidence of collaboration with the enemy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Investigators informed the detainee of suspicion under Part 1 of Article 14 and Part 2 of Article 258 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – preparation for a terrorist act committed by a group of persons in prior conspiracy. He faces up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The operation was carried out by SBU officers in the Kharkiv region together with the National Police under the procedural guidance of the regional prosecutor’s office.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Earlier it was reported that the Security Service detained another agent in the Kyiv region who worked for Russian military intelligence<\/a> . The attacker was preparing new rocket attacks by the occupiers on thermal power plants in the capital region of Ukraine.<\/p>\n
