The FSB announced the detention of a person alleged to be the coordinator of the assassination attempt, described as a resident of occupied Yalta and Russian citizen.

The FSB reported that the person who coordinated the assassination attempt had been detained.

Russian-controlled courts issued 27 rulings on 'discrediting' the Russian military in October 2023 alone

The FSB announced on Oct. 31 that it had detained an individual believed to be the coordinator of an assassination plot targeting Oleg Tsaryov

The detainee is a 46-year-old resident of Yalta, alleged to have organized surveillance on Tsaryov under the instructions of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU)

The individual is said to have prepared a hidden cache in the city containing 'means of destruction' intended for use in the assassination attempt

During searches related to the arrest, authorities discovered an improvised explosive device ready for use, components for its construction, means for covert communication with Ukrainian handlers, photographs of Tsaryov, and schematics detailing his residences and workplaces

The FSB further revealed that the detainee has confessed to his involvement in the plot

The project would create political and financial risks for China, which has never officially recognized Russia's occupation of Crimea.

Chinese companies could be trapped by economic sanctions imposed by the US and the EU on the aggressor country.
