During the special operation, the security forces detained two FSB agents who were preparing to blow up the administrative building of the regional territorial recruitment center separately, acting on the instructions of one coordinator.

And in May, the body of a man from Volyn, who had been detained by the TCC in Lutsk, was found in Mykolaiv. A few days later, he was found dead in a river near a water station. Law enforcement officials said there were no signs of violence, but relatives demanded an investigation into the circumstances of the death.
