According to the case materials, the perpetrators thus decided to “make easy” money. But instead of money from the Russian invaders, they received suspicion from Ukrainian law enforcement.
In the Odessa region, law enforcement officers neutralized a group that burned three relay cabinets of Ukrzaliznytsia and was preparing to derail a train. The perpetrators planned to install a brake stopper on the track for the sabotage, which they purchased online.
