The man was recruited by the Ukrainian special services in the city of Lvov and underwent sabotage training, the FSB noted, adding that he had later been sent to Russia to derail trains carrying cargo needed for the country's special military op.

"As part of the investigation, [the authorities] seized the means of conspiratorial communication with the curator, a device for derailing trains, as well as money transferred to him by the Ukrainian intelligence for preparing and executing the crimes," the FSB also said.
The detainee's criminal activities are being documented, the security agency added.
