A FSB agent who tried to set fire to one of the administrative buildings of the TCC in the region was detained in Vinnytsia. This was reported by the SBU press service.

Counterintelligence officers detained the offender at the moment when he threw a Molotov cocktail at the wall of the military enlistment office and recorded the ignition on his phone camera.

According to the investigation, the offender turned out to be a 17-year-old boy from Odesa, who came to the attention of the FSB due to his search for quick earnings on the Internet.

"On one of these sites, the boy posted his resume, to which a representative of the Russian special service responded. For money, he offered the resident of Odesa to set fire to military infrastructure facilities and vehicles of Ukrainian defenders. After test tasks in the form of photographing the location of the Defense Forces in the port city, the occupiers sent their accomplice to the Vinnytsia region," the report says.

According to law enforcement officers, the saboteur was supposed to set fire to the TCC building in the Vinnytsia region. After that, he was supposed to continue the series of arsons in Zhytomyr.

During searches, the detainee was found with a homemade incendiary mixture and a mobile phone, which he used to film the crime and communicate with the Russian Federation.

Based on the collected evidence, security service investigators notified the agent of suspicion under the article of sabotage committed under martial law conditions.

The perpetrator is currently in custody. He faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.

Recall that Russian special services recruit teenagers to destabilize the situation in Ukraine. In particular, Russians offer money for setting fire to the cars of servicemen of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

As reported, the police detained a 22-year-old resident of Rivne who was setting fire to the cars of servicemen, responding to an "offer" in a Russian chat bot.
