Ukraine arrests saboteurs 'co-ordinated by Russian special services' who were planning 'a series of armed attacks' aimed at destabilising border regions
[Daily Mail UK via InstaPundit] Ukraine says it has arrested Russian-backed saboteurs who were plotting attacks in border regions with the aim of 'destabilising' the country.
The 'criminal' group was preparing a 'series of armed attacks' on city infrastructure 'coordinated by Russian special service', Ukraine's SBU security service said today.
Two men, one of them a Russian citizen, were arrested during raids in Kharkiv, close to the Russian border, and Zhytomyr, in western Ukraine, today.
Agents say the pair had been recruiting other men - mostly Russians with criminal histories - under the guise of a security company to take part in the attacks.
It comes amid a build-up of Russian troops near Ukraine, with the US warning Moscow may launch 'false flag' attacks in border regions to justify an invasion.
