Russian Agent Preparing IED At SBU Building, Kyiv

A Russian agent who planned to blow up the SBU building with 7 kg of explosives was detained in Kyiv. A 22-year-old drug addict from Lviv was recruited via Telegram and installed video surveillance to record the attack.

This location, as noted, is currently not used by the special service, which has been redeployed to backup locations for the period of the full-scale invasion. “However, a potential terrorist attack could have resulted in large casualties among civilians in the central part of the city,” the statement said.

“At the scene, the detainee was found to be carrying a bag with an improvised explosive device with a capacity of 7 kg of TNT equivalent. Such a charge is enough to seriously damage the building and cause fatal injuries to people around the epicenter of the explosion,” the SBU said.

According to the case file, the racists remotely recruited a 22-year-old drug addict from Lviv who was looking for “quick” money on Telegram channels to prepare the attack.

“On the instructions of the occupiers, the girl came to Kyiv, where her Russian curator rented an apartment for her in the city center in advance. After moving into the temporary accommodation, she picked up a mini-video surveillance camera via courier delivery and installed it on the balcony,” the statement said.

Using remote access, the enemy was able to monitor the central street of Kyiv online and thus wanted to record the consequences of the terrorist attack.

“SBU officers were proactive and detained the offender red-handed when she took a bag of explosives from a hiding place and was heading to a rented apartment,” the statement said.

During the search, the detainee's cell phone, which she used to communicate with the Russian special services, was additionally seized.
