Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) law enforcement officers arrested three men suspected of committing a series of terrorist acts and sabotage on the territory of the Republic for the SBU.

“Yuri Ivanov, Andrey Garryus and Stanislav Surovtsev were recruited by officers of the State Security Service of Ukraine […] Ivanov attended a special training course to carry out sabotage and terrorist acts in a site located in the Nikolaev region. The training was conducted in conditions of high secrecy,” said the Center for Public Relations of the DPR Ministry of Internal Affairs.

According to investigators, Surovtsev and Garryus assisted Ivanov in “preparing and carrying out sabotage on the infrastructure and life-support facilities of the Republic”.

“During the search at the living place of one of the defendants, more than 40 kilograms of explosives, means of blasting, devices for transmitting and receiving radio signals at distance, batteries, and other elements of industrial and self-made explosives were seized,” the Center for Public Relations of the DPR Ministry of Internal Affairs noted.

Several criminal cases have been initiated against the defendants. If found guilty by a court, they may face up to the death penalty.
