Ukrainian security forces have detained a Russian agent who plotted to ambush and kill a police patrol in central Kyiv.
On November 17, the suspect staged a fake domestic violence report to lure police to an apartment building in Kyiv’s Pechersk district. When officers attempted to enter the apartment, a tripwire rigged with an F-1 grenade was triggered. Fortunately, no one was injured, as the police avoided the deadly trap.
Investigators discovered the apartment was vacant, and the fake call—made using a woman’s voice—was designed solely to set up the ambush. The suspect, identified as a 43-year-old Kyiv region resident with a long criminal record including robbery, theft, and prison escape, had been recruited remotely by Russian intelligence. Before the attack, he carried out a test assignment – his handlers ordered him to set fire to a relay cabinet at a railway facility and send them a video of his sabotage act.
Under detailed instructions from his Russian contacts, the suspect rented an apartment in Kyiv, rigged it with the grenade trap, and installed cameras to livestream the explosion. The police tracked and captured the saboteur swiflty.
Searches of his home uncovered a mobile phone, SIM cards, and clothing linking him to the crime. The Security Service of Ukraine charged him of terrorism under Article 258, Part 2 of Ukraine’s Criminal Code. The suspect now faces up to 12 years in prison with asset confiscation.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
