The FSB said the Ukrainians were “liquidated” when they tried to cross the border in the Bryansk region. They allegedly carried home-made explosives, foreign weapons and ammunition, and communications and navigation equipment to carry out terror attacks on Russian soil. Ukrainian media reported on Tuesday that the men were performing military duties against Russia’s offensive war.
A soldier of the Ukrainian armed forces confirmed the death of his comrades in the Telegram news channel, whose names and photos he also published. However, he assumed that the men had been killed by a mine explosion. According to the FSB, they were already killed on December 25.
For months, the Russian authorities have been complaining about attacks from the Ukrainian side in the border area, but also in the hinterland. The FSB now reports arrests of suspected saboteurs and terrorists in various parts of Russia on an almost daily basis. There is also repeated talk of drone attacks. But from the Ukrainian side there are hardly any confirmations like this. Time and time again, the attacks resulted in deaths, injuries and destruction.
