What preceded this
Recall that on March 23, a local resident reported an explosion on one of the streets of Bucha. Upon the arrival of emergency services, another explosion occurred at the scene, injuring two law enforcement officers.
Shortly thereafter, the SBU and the National Police on Monday, March 23, “hot on the trail,” detained the executor of the double terrorist act in Bucha – a 21-year-old local resident. According to preliminary information, he was recruited by Russian special services via the internet.
According to the detainee, he met an unknown person through a computer game. After some time, that person began to blackmail the young man by claiming to know where his mother was and allegedly monitoring her with a drone, thus requiring him to plant explosives to ensure her safety.
Such incidents are not isolated. In recent months, similar terrorist acts and attempts to carry them out have been recorded in Lviv, Kyiv, Dnipro, Mykolaiv, and Odesa.
Law enforcement officials note common features of such crimes: the use of improvised explosive devices, remote detonation, coordination of actions via messengers, and recruitment of executors.
