This time, the occupiers recruited a 14-year-old schoolgirl living in Ternopil.

14-year-old Russian agent detained in Ternopil
The SBU and the National Police managed to detain a Ukrainian schoolgirl, whom the Russians intended to blow up together with explosives near the local district police department.
The Russians came across the girl when she was trying to find quick money in Telegram channels.
After that, Russian special services "hacked" her phone and began blackmailing the minor, and also threatened to "leak" her candid photos online.
As a result, the schoolgirl agreed to work for the enemy and, following the instructions of the occupiers, made an improvised explosive device (IED). She then hid it in a backpack and secretly left it under a car parked next to the police administration building.
It was then that the Russians wanted to remotely blow up the SVP in order to kill their agent and the maximum number of citizens passing by.
Law enforcement officers thwarted the enemy's plans — they promptly discovered and neutralized the explosives, documented the subversive activities of the Russian Federation, and detained the perpetrator of the crime.
The Russian agent is currently under house arrest. She faces up to 10 years in prison with confiscation of property.
