Prosecutors of the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office have informed four members of an organized group of suspicions regarding committing acts of sabotage under martial law and possession of explosives.

It has been established that one of the group members - a 32-year-old already suspected of setting fire to vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, continued to follow the instructions of representatives of the Russian special services even while in custody.

While in the State Institution "Kyiv Detention Center," the man received an offer from a representative of the aggressor country to organize explosions at military facilities or damage infrastructure objects in Ukraine for money. To carry out the task, the detainee involved his 22-year-old cellmate.

Thus, the accomplices began searching for executors of these tasks on the outside. Two young men, aged 23 and 20, agreed to become the executors.

In this way, two detainees from the detention center were engaged in organizing the crime and communicating with the curator, while the two on the outside were the direct executors of the tasks.

Later, after receiving the coordinates of the stash with explosives from the curator, the two accomplices retrieved it and left it at one of the men's homes while preparing to carry out the explosions.

Additionally, the accomplices received an order from the curator to set fire to the panels of cellular communication towers and railway relay cabinets. They chose objects of Ukrzaliznytsia located in Troieshchyna and on the railway section "Mykilska Slobidka" as their targets.

The executors filmed the arson of the relay cabinets, which they sent to the customer.

Currently, the four young men have been informed of suspicion under Part 3 of Article 28, Part 2 of Article 113 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, namely for committing explosions and arsons aimed at weakening the state, directed at the destruction or damage of objects of significant national economic or defense importance under martial law, by an organized group.

They are also suspected under Part 3 of Article 28, Part 1 of Article 263 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, specifically for the possession of military ammunition without the required legal permission, committed by an organized group.

The sanctions of the articles provide for punishment in the form of life imprisonment, with confiscation of property.

The investigation is ongoing.

The pre-trial investigation is being conducted by investigators of the Main Directorate of the Security Service of Ukraine in the city of Kyiv and Kyiv region.

Note: according to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and cannot be subjected to criminal punishment until their guilt is proven in a lawful manner and established by a court verdict.
