In the Cherkasy region, authorities apprehended individuals attempting to attack volunteers.

In the Cherkasy region, law enforcement officials thwarted an assassination attempt on a volunteer family. This involves the head of a charitable foundation supporting the Defense Forces and her husband – a demobilized soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who sustained serious injuries on the front lines, as reported by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).

During a special operation, a criminal group was neutralized, which attempted to detonate homemade explosive devices against the volunteers in their own home.

According to the case materials, the motive for the assassination attempt was the victims' refusal to pay a fictitious debt for renovation work in their house.

To carry out the crime, the perpetrators prepared four homemade explosive devices, which were filled with gunpowder, nuts, and incendiary cords.

“Subsequently, they planned to throw the explosives into the bedroom where the volunteers were supposed to rest.

The Security Service uncovered the criminal group in advance and arrested two of its members "red-handed" as they were preparing to break into the victims' home,” the SBU stated.

During searches, homemade explosive devices, components for making explosives, and mobile phones containing evidence of the crime were seized from the suspects.

Currently, two organizers of the group have already been notified of suspicion. There are also plans to suspect their accomplice.

The perpetrators are in custody. They face life imprisonment with asset confiscation.
