The SBU managed to prevent a new terrorist attack
According to the secret service, they detained the suspect "red-handed" as she hurriedly left the hotel.
In the room, the woman left a homemade explosive device and a mini-camera with remote access to record the explosion.
The explosive was to be activated remotely — by calling a mobile phone built into the device.
The Security Service of Ukraine was able to successfully neutralize the SVP.
According to the investigation, the suspect is a 49-year-old resident of the Rivne region. Russian special services recruited her through a dating site. She received the coordinates of a cache with a ready-made explosive device and the key to a room booked for a fake person.
In addition, the suspect, on the instructions of the curators, purchased components for the manufacture of another SVP.
During a search of her home, a phone with evidence of collaboration with the enemy and components of a second explosive device were seized.

She faces up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.
