“All the accused were captured by Russian forces between September 13 and 15,” the office added. They are accused of committing a terrorist act that had serious consequences.

Investigators claim that in early August 2024, the Ukrainian army illegally crossed the border with Russia and invaded the Korenevsky district of the Kursk region. The soldiers were armed with automatic and high-caliber weapons, along with explosive devices, and were prepared to commit terrorist acts. “The militants have established firing positions throughout the region, they have established a command post in one of the seized private houses.
