The case of a Russian citizen and two Ukrainian citizens, who, according to investigators, planned to commit a terrorist attack in a Rostov-on-Don pretrial detention facility, has been referred to the Southern District Military Court.

According to investigators, in July 2024, Russian citizen Dmitry Papenko, who was being held in a pretrial detention facility, proposed to Ukrainian citizens Vladimir Makarenko and Grigory Sinchenko "jointly participate in criminal activity." They agreed.

Papenko planned a terrorist attack for November 4 of that year, but it was prevented, Gazeta.ru reported on October 21.

Papenko, Makarenko, and Sinchenko were charged with preparing a terrorist attack; Sinchenko is also accused of recruiting.

Dmitry Papenko was sentenced to 21 years in a maximum security penal colony in October 2024 for treason (Article 275 of the Russian Criminal Code), training for the purpose of committing terrorist activity (Article 205.3), and an attempted terrorist attack (Part 1 of Article 30 - Part 1 of Article 205 of the Russian Criminal Code) in Sevastopol, Interfax reports.

Grigory Sinchenko was sentenced in March to 26 years in a maximum security penal colony for a series of acts of sabotage in the DPR. Vladimir Makarenko was convicted in October for participating in the activities of one of the nationalist battalions and sentenced to 18 years in prison.

Analysts previously interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" noted that FSIN institutions are short of staff, and those who do work long hours for modest salaries, which contributes to corruption and the violation of safety regulations for personal gain.
