Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has detained three Russian nationals that, according to the service, were involved in preparation and implementation of “terrorist attacks” on a railway in the Yekaterinburg region, Russia’s state news agency TASS reports, citing the FSB.
The service claims that the detained men were working “for a reward from Ukrainian neo-Nazis”. During searches, law enforcement agents seized “symbols of the Ukrainian neo-Nazi armed formation, as well as means of communication containing maps of the Sverdlovsk railway facilities”. The names of the Russian nationals have not been made public.
The FSB has posted a video of the alleged detention which shows a person (with their face blurred) confessing to setting electrical panels on fire on the railway.
