Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said on Wednesday it had detained a resident of the eastern Khabarovsk region on treason charges for trying to send money to the Ukrainian army, state news agency TASS reported. TASS quoted the FSB as saying that the detainee had tried to send money to Ukraine to buy drones, thermal imaging cameras, ammunition and medical supplies "through cryptocurrency instruments."
RIA, another state news agency, published FSB footage of a man stopped by two officers on a country road and a subsequent search of his home. TASS reported separately that the FSB had arrested a group of "saboteurs" in the Russian-controlled Ukrainian city of Melitopol who were preparing an assassination attempt on officials.
He did not say how many people had been detained, or who their alleged targets were.
