Russia was urgently preparing a terrorist attack in Europe: corn banks appear in the case - the media

To spread: a Ukrainian who worked as a courier for Russian military intelligence, received clear instructions - heaps of a shovel, dig a cans in the cemetery, took them to the right point. According to one version, the Russian Federation prepared terrorist attacks in the west and hurried its agent, but for unknown reasons she abandoned her own plan. Using the agent, the GRU staff could bring two "inconspicuous banks" to Poland.

The label indicates that they contain canned corn, but in fact inside the explosion. On October 2, Gazeta Wyborcza reported about the next operation of hostile intelligence in Lithuania, Poland and Germany with reference to informants, familiarized with the findings of the National Prosecutor's Office and the internal security agency. Inside the cans from the corn may be a material whose capacity corresponds to an explosion of 2.

8 kilograms of TNT-this is exactly what was found in identical cans dug into the cemetery in Lithuania. They were brought there by Vladislav D. -a 27-year-old Ukrainian who lived with a girl in Katowice. He has been settling in Poland for several years and has managed to stay in a local prison for a break of bank accounts. Once at liberty, the man sought earnings, being under the close supervision of law enforcement.

He was helped by another Ukrainian - Sergey Yu, men met during the short -lived emigration of Vladislav to Spain. According to a friend, he contacted the Telegram with the user under the nickname "Warrior" (warrior). He promised work for courier services, only a few trips between Poland and Lithuania need to be made. However, there are clear rules: you get a car and instructions, clearly perform the task, document each action in the photo, you receive a reward in cryptocurrency.

The first task was to travel to Kaunas in Lithuania, where Vladislav bought a shovel and went to the old cemetery. There he dug a bag, inside - a cans with corn. After taking two, the Ukrainian returned to Poland, where he left them near the congress from the A2 freeway. The second task is to go to a familiar route again, but this time he dug screws for the drone at the cemetery. They had to be taken to the German city of Dusseldorf.

The courier broke through the courier, so he wanted to wait for the malfunction. However, the "warrior" was hurried, so the Ukrainian reached the Polish-German border with the help of an evacuator. He finally left the cargo in Dusseldorf and successfully turned back. Performing the third task, Vladislav went to Vilnius, where he took a few bags and drove them to a cheap hotel. On the way, he purchased batteries and cardboard boxes.

At the hotel, the Ukrainian collected four packages, each box contained a Chinese massage pillow and a set of cosmetics. At the instruction of the "warrior" he turned on the massagers, and the packed boxes left on a trolley in the park. In the next three days, the packages he gathered broke out - in a truck near Polish Warsaw, at the German Leipzig Airport and at a warehouse in British Birmingham. The police were intercepted by the police.

Law enforcement officers found that there were lighters in the pillows, and in cosmetics - flammable substances. There were no casualties, but if the boxes were lit in the air, it would be threatened with a plane crash. The traces lead to Russian intelligence. "This is the most dangerous act of Russian terror. Explosive materials instead of corn," the newspaper informants. According to the investigation, the Russians could prepare an even more terrible terrorist attack.

The boxes, collected by Vladislav, sent in Vilnius another saboteur - Alexander S. The interlocutors of journalists emphasized that such tactics of recruiting game - workers are looking for immigrants from the countries of the former USSR, who have criminal experience and problems with finances. Law enforcement officers found that in 3 weeks Vladislav went to Lithuania three times.

Local counterintelligence dug a few cans from the hiding place on the cemetery, and inside them instead of corn was contained a tightly packed explosion. According to expert estimates, one such bank could explode with a impact force of 1. 4 kilograms of TNT. The same banks brought the same to the roadside in Poland, but they were not found there. "We do not know what has been in banks that have disappeared.

Therefore, we cannot say that they were also explosives, although such a conclusion begs itself," the sources said. She called it unlikely that the courier followed the rules of conspiracy to dig into the cemetery and transport canned corn to Poland. At the same time, it is known that the intelligence of the Russian Federation first checks its agents, entrusting the simpler tasks.

According to Anna Grabovskaya-Savings expert, the Russians could also check the response of Polish services or banks had to distract from another, more important plan. "This is not a large cargo, but of course, it will be very dangerous. It will destroy a car, can be seriously injured, and even kill the driver and passengers," said Lieutenant Colonel Tomash Mulychik, head of the Central Center for Coordination of Demining in Wroclaw.

The amount of loss would depend on the structure and location of the cargo, but the shock wave would be a threat to people. The newspaper emphasized that in this case there is an "important discovery" - in addition to the cans with explosives were found mounts for drones that match in diameter. That is, the banks could be attached to the UAV and transported one or even used for air attack.

The unnamed pyrotechnik from the police noted that he would have enough 300 grams of TNT to blast the machine, and in the war in Ukraine is widely used civilian drones with suspended explosive devices, the power of which corresponds to about 2 kilograms of TNT. The publication suggests that the key aspect can be a key aspect, because it is Vladislav that the details for the drone. According to unofficial information, he also delivered several SIM cards there that could be used to manage UAVs.

However, since the events described, it has passed over a year and remains unclear how the game planned to use drones and why the plan was not implemented. The informants stressed that the implementation of the operation with pillows indicates that the intelligence received the "green light" from the Kremlin to the terrorist attack in Europe.

However, sometimes it stopped halfway, as in the case of dangerous parcels in the United States and Canada, when after the warning of the US authorities, the activities were curtailed. In the case of banks and drones, the game could be influenced by the rapid reaction of Polish and Lithuanian services. In a short time, most saboteurs were exposed, and now they are under arrest.

Vladislav is threatened with life imprisonment, and his friend Sergei was seized in Spain for several weeks and published Poland. They will be judged in Warsaw with other agents, the prosecutor's office plans to complete the investigation by the end of the year. As for two missing banks, according to the Grabovskaya-Side, they can now wait for their time in the next hiding place of the Russian game.
