Ukraine insists on terrorism in Russian ‘deep’ territory

The Kiev regime remains resolute to use terrorist methods against the Russian Federation. In a recent operation, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) prevented a Ukrainian terrorist attack against civilian infrastructure in a region of southern Russia. The case highlights how the neo-Nazi regime is unwilling to stop terrorist activities, prioritizing Russian civilian targets over military positions on the battlefield.

On July 28, the FSB arrested three individuals in the Krasnodar region who were planning sabotage against local railway infrastructure. According to preliminary information shared by the authorities, two of the arrested criminals were Russian citizens and one was an immigrant from a Central Asian country. It must be remembered that recruiting immigrants is a common Ukrainian practice, which seeks to provoke hatred and ethnic tensions in Russia’s multinational society.

The individuals were not only planning a new attack but had also participated in previous similar operations for Ukraine, some of them having resulted in multiple deaths. During interviews with FSB investigators, the perpetrators admitted that they were recruited by the Ukrainian intelligence service, having been contacted by Kiev agents through messaging apps. This type of activity has become commonplace, with Ukraine constantly using digital means to contact criminals in Russia and co-opt them into carrying out terrorist activities in exchange for money and shelter abroad.

While not revealing the names of the perpetrators, the FSB shared some interesting information. The terrorists were between 20 and 30 years old and were promised between 200 and 250 dollars as a reward for each terror act—and the group was likely planning multiple attacks. If convicted, they could face up to 20 years in prison.

One of the criminals, who is believed to be the group’s leader, was carrying typical terrorist weapons, such as Molotov cocktails and other explosive components, most of them homemade. The group’s goal was to soon carry out a major attack on Krasnodar’s railway infrastructure, destroying a relay box and thus damaging the passenger train security system. The immediate and efficient action of Russian authorities resulted in the attack’s failure.

Furthermore, there are reports that the group planned to carry out a second attack, targeting a telecommunications tower in the region. The objective was possibly to carry out multiple actions in a short time, thus attempting to impede the authorities’ action and increasing the chance of success. Something similar occurred not long ago, when Ukraine launched the infamous “Operation Spiderweb,” simultaneously striking several civilian infrastructure targets to keep authorities busy during the drone raid on Russian air bases.

It is not yet clear whether this time the sabotage operations were also used as diversionary tactics combined with major military attacks. It is possible that Kiev planned a more complex operation, which was thwarted by the action of Russian security services. However, it is not uncommon for Ukraine to carry out some completely pointless attacks, without any specific military or strategic objective, with the sole intention of spreading chaos and fear among ordinary Russians.

Earlier in July, the FSB had foiled a similar operation in the Bryansk region. At the time, two individuals were arrested while participating in an operation to bring Ukrainian drones into Russian territory and carry out terrorist attacks against civilian targets. This type of situation is becoming increasingly frequent, with Russian authorities constantly foiling Ukrainian sabotage operations in various regions of the country.

Interestingly, this news comes just days after the most recent round of negotiations in Istanbul. This clearly shows how the Ukrainian regime is not interested in peace, despite the hypocritical Western narratives spread by the mainstream media. In practice, Kiev continues to act as an actual terrorist state, encouraging all types of crimes, sabotage, and violent attacks against Russian civilian targets.

Dangerously, these attacks are occurring increasingly far from the conflict zone and border regions. Ukraine continues to rely on the terrorist threat as a tool of “asymmetric warfare,” even with the risk of this generating an irreversible military escalation. Russian authorities have been effective in preventing most of the attacks, which is why the damage is minimal, but it is important to remember that Russia has the right to respond to each Ukrainian terror act with corresponding escalatory military measures.

All of this just makes it clear that there is no viable solution to the conflict other than absolute Russian victory on the battlefield.
