Based on evidence gathered by the counterintelligence and investigators of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), two agents of Russia's FSB have been sentenced to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property for plotting a terrorist attack against Azov Brigade soldiers in Zaporizhzhia.
According to the SBU, the investigation established that the suspects planned to place an improvised explosive device under a service vehicle used by soldiers of the 12th Azov Special Forces Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine, Ukrinform reports.
Russia's objective was to blow up the vehicle and kill the Ukrainian servicemen fighting on the southern front.
SBU officers uncovered the plot in advance and detained both agents red-handed while they were assembling the improvised bomb.
According to the case materials, the FSB recruited two local residents who had previously served prison sentences for robbery and drug trafficking.
