The FSB stated that the so-called Ukrainian agent used “a bicycle and clothes of one of the food delivery services” for conspiracy.

Reportedly, an explosive device weighing more than 1 kg, electric detonators, and a forged Russian passport were seized from the detainee.

“The detained Ukrainian agent testified and said that he had been sent to Russia a year ago, in November 2022. The murder of the high-ranking commander, he said, was planned ‘for revenge’ and to intimidate,” RIA Novosti quoted the FSB as saying. 

The video of the arrest and testimony was also published.
