39 residents of 17 regions of the Russian Federation received sentences of up to 26 years for setting fire to aircraft, transport and communications facilities, as well as for planning sabotage on the railway on instructions from the Ukrainian special services.

MOSCOW, October 9 - RIA Novosti. Thirty-nine residents of 17 regions of the Russian Federation received sentences of up to 26 years for committing arson on aircraft, transport and communications facilities, and also planning sabotage on railway infrastructure on instructions from the Ukrainian special services, the Russian Federal Security Service Central Election Commission reported.

As noted, the activities of 39 persons born between 1995 and 2010 from 17 constituent entities of the Russian Federation who committed arson on aviation equipment, transport and communications facilities, and also planned sabotage on railway infrastructure on instructions from the Ukrainian special services were suppressed.

“In court, these persons were found guilty of the crimes charged and were sentenced to imprisonment for terms of 10 to 26 years,” the statement said.

The FSB noted that the criminals were recruited by the enemy in groups searching for quick money on the Telegram messenger.

“By maintaining contact with the enemy intelligence service, they were counting on easy money, but after completing the tasks, the curators blocked the accounts of their wards or transferred a reward significantly less than the promised amount,” the message says.
