The head of Russia's FSB security service on Tuesday accused Ukraine and the West of recruiting young Russians to stage armed attacks in their home country. ManilaBulletin
The accusation by security chief Alexander Bortnikov comes a week after President Vladimir Putin accused the West of having helped Kyiv stage "terror attacks" in Russia while Moscow pursues its military offensive against Ukraine.
"In the conditions of Russia conducting the special military operation, Ukrainian special forces and their Western curators have launched an aggressive ideological indoctrination and recruitment of our citizens," Bortnikov told a meeting in Moscow of the National Anti-Terrorism Committee. He alleged that "118 terrorist crimes have been prevented in Russia" since February last year, when Moscow launched its offensive in Ukraine.
In early March, Russia detained a young woman after an explosion killed a top military blogger in Saint Petersburg, blaming Ukraine and the opposition. Little is known about the attack.
