In fact, a criminal case was opened regarding preparation for high treason and participation in a terrorist organization. According to security officials, the defendant is a resident of the Krasnodar region.

“A citizen of Russia, in order to join the ranks of a Ukrainian paramilitary association, recognized as a terrorist organization and banned on the territory of the Russian Federation, initiated contact with its representative, who is engaged in recruiting and training volunteers to participate in military operations against the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The suspect was detained while trying to leave for Ukraine,” the release says.

Let us remind you that earlier a resident of the capital was detained in Belgorod for attempting to leave Russia for Ukraine to participate in hostilities against the Russian Federation. He was sentenced to 4.5 years in a maximum security colony.
