The New Indian Express Hubballi|December 27, 2024
RUSSIA on Thursday accused the Ukrainian security services of instigating a spate of 55 arson and bomb attacks on banks, post offices and police cars across the country.

The interior ministry said in a statement that 44 suspects had been arrested, many of them elderly people and minors "looking for easy money".

It said perpetrators faced up to 20 years in prison.

"Suspects acted on the instructions of anonymous supervisors received by telephone or messengers," it said.

"Ukrainian security services are behind the organisation of these crimes," it said, calling for "vigilance".
