The day before, in the Trans-Baikal Territory, employees of the regional Federal Security Service (FSB) detained a local resident for calling for terrorist acts. It is specified that the 33-year-old man used the Internet to call for terrorist acts on the territory of Russia and collected personal data of Russian servicemen and colleagues who supported the special operation, and passed this information to a representative of the Ukrainian special services. Criminal cases have been initiated under articles on public calls for terrorist activities (Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and high treason (Article 275 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
