MOSCOW, October 5 - RIA Novosti. Two agents of the Ukrainian special services, who were collecting information about defense industry and fuel and energy complex facilities, were detained in Perm and the Belgorod region, and a bomb was seized from one of them, the Russian FSB reported.

“The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation in the Perm Territory and the Belgorod Region detained two citizens of the Russian Federation, born in 2006 and 2002, who acted in the interests of the Ukrainian special services,” the statement says.

It was established that the suspects, on the instructions of Ukrainian curators in the cities of Perm and Stary Oskol (Belgorod region), collected information about the objects of the military-industrial and fuel-energy complexes for the further commission of sabotage and terrorist acts. Their criminal activities were coordinated through Telegram.

“A ready-to-use homemade explosive device was confiscated from a detainee in the Belgorod region. It was also established that he was repeatedly engaged by the Ukrainian special services as a courier to whom Russian citizens deceived by fraudulent call centers transferred their funds,” the FSB noted.

An enemy agent operating in the Perm Territory was promised a large monetary reward and travel to the European Union for cooperation with the Ukrainian special services, the FSB added.

Criminal cases were initiated against the detainees under articles of preparation for a terrorist attack, sabotage, illegal acquisition of explosives or explosive devices, and a preventive measure was chosen in the form of detention.
