The FSB detained a resident of the Rostov region on suspicion of treason.

Law enforcement reported the detention of an 18-year-old resident of Taganrog, who was planning a terrorist attack against Russian military personnel.

According to law enforcement agencies, the 18-year-old resident of Taganrog joined a Ukrainian paramilitary group recognized as terrorist in the Russian Federation via Telegram.

Following the group's instructions, he was posting leaflets and graffiti against the special military operation, conducting covert reconnaissance of the area to carry out sabotage on railway transport, reported today by RIA "Novosti" citing the FSB of the Rostov region.

He then intended to enlist in the Russian Ministry of Defense under contract to participate in the special military operation and, while on the front lines, eliminate his fellow servicemen, after which he planned to surrender to the Ukrainian Armed Forces to switch sides.

Criminal cases have been initiated against him under the article "Treason" 1 and "Participation in the activities of a terrorist organization" 2 .
