The young man, who allegedly tried to act on behalf of the Ukrainian special services, wore women's clothing to hide his identity.

On camera, it is visible that he approached a black SUV, presumably belonging to the target, after which he decided to plant explosives. In one of the frames, a device can be seen under the car.

Soon, two men pounced on him and arrested him. The young man was placed in handcuffs.

The FSB released a video of this incident, claiming that the 'agent in the grandmother's costume' attempted to commit a terrorist act.

Investigators believe that the criminals acted on the instruction of a leader related to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

According to Russian law enforcement, the suspects were conducting reconnaissance near the potential target's residence.

The 19-year-old young man claimed that he was recruited by Ukrainian special services.

“I went, took a bag [from the cemetery], a black device resembling a power bank, with magnets,” he reported.

“I was sent the exact location where the car was, with new photos. I took public transport to Sosnovka Park.”

“I arrived at Sosnovka Park at 4 AM, changed [into women’s clothes] and left the park around 5 AM.

“At around 6 AM, I reached the car, installed the device, tried to escape, but I was arrested.”

Under Russian terrorism legislation, all suspects could face life imprisonment.

It is known that the detainees were born in 1993, 1994, and 2006, but their names have not been disclosed.

This incident occurs against the backdrop of new accusations against President Putin regarding the poisoning of opposition figure Alexei Navalny during his detention in an Arctic prison.

His wife, Yulia Navalnaya, reported new evidence obtained from biological samples that were taken abroad.

“Putin is guilty of murdering my husband,” said Yulia.

“In February 2024, we managed to obtain, take abroad, and send Alexei's biological materials to a laboratory in one of the western countries.”
