As RIA Novosti reports with reference to the special service, before his intended departure, the man took a photo of one of the city facilities in Syktyvkar, which could become a target for sabotage.
It is specified that the attacker established contact with the curator of a terrorist Ukrainian paramilitary association in August-November 2023. As part of his activities as a member of the group, he took the corresponding photos and videos.
In December, security forces detained a suspect in Belgorod, from where he was transported to Syktyvkar.
Earlier, a court in Novosibirsk sentenced a resident of Omsk to 16 years for treason and sabotage.
