Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has detained a man accused of planning to blow up a railway near the city of Nizhny Novgorod on the instructions of Ukrainian special services.
The 21-year-old, a citizen of Russia and Germany, was arrested during a search for adherents of neo-Nazi ideology in the city, according to the FSB, which said it had uncovered and detained a whole group of young people involved in committing “common crimes.”
During the searches, police found and confiscated a ready-to-use improvised explosive device, as well as correspondence with a representative of the Ukrainian special services, which indicated that the suspect was planning to carry out a terrorist act.
The FSB has also shared a video of the suspect being captured, as well as images of the IED and several excerpts from his text messages with his Ukrainian contact.
