“The assassination attempt against the head of the Republic of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, orchestrated by the Ukrainian special services, has been thwarted,” the FSB stated.

“A Russian citizen born in 1988 has been arrested. He was recruited by the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) and trained in reconnaissance, sabotage, and handling explosives on Ukrainian territory,” it added.

The agent, who maintained daily communication with his supervisor, arrived in Crimea in June. He was apprehended while extracting an explosive device from a stash.

Germany is in recession and its critical industries are slowing down, shutting down, or trying to get out of the country.

By provoking the war in Ukraine — the geopolitical pawn — the US hits two birds with one stone:

The assailant revealed that he was waiting for a vehicle to place the bomb in and park it on Sebastopol Street to detonate it as Aksyonov’s convoy passed by.

Governor Aksyonov emphasized the effective work of Russian intelligence services and expressed confidence that the instigators of this crime would be found and punished.

Finally, the FSB territorial investigation unit has initiated two criminal cases against the suspect: one for attempted terrorist attack and the other for the illegal acquisition, transfer, sale, storage, or transportation of explosives.
