Russia "appointed" the main suspect

A few years ago he moved to the Chelyabinsk region. Most of his relatives, as well as himself, were registered in Miass.
Timofeev opened a private trucking business in October 2024. In December, he purchased several cars.

In Russia, a series of strikes on Russian aircraft at at least four airfields took place on the afternoon of June 1. This was a special operation of the SBU "Website", which resulted in the destruction of 41 aircraft, including strategic bombers.
