Russians Blackmailed Into Terror and Sabotage by Kyiv Agents, FSB Exposes Ukraine's Coercion Scheme

Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) says Ukrainian intelligence agencies are using phone scams and online manipulation to coerce Russian citizens into committing acts of sabotage and terrorism.

According to reports, at least 10 Russian nationals across five regions—Komi, Astrakhan, Vologda, Volgograd, and Krasnodar—were detained after allegedly setting fire to law enforcement vehicles and interfering with energy and transport infrastructure.

The FSB says victims were first financially defrauded, then contacted by individuals posing as Russian law enforcement officers. Under the threat of being charged with treason, a crime punishable by life imprisonment, the citizens were coerced into committing illegal acts under the false accusation of financing Ukraine’s armed forces.

FSB Chief Alexander Bortnikov has warned that sabotage and terror-related activities linked to Ukrainian special services have increased significantly. Authorities are urging citizens to remain vigilant and warning that legitimate officials never contact people via messaging apps such as Telegram or WhatsApp to demand cooperation.

00:00In a shocking turn of events, Russia's Federal Security Service, the FSB, said it has uncovered

00:11a troubling scheme in which Russian citizens were allegedly coerced by Ukrainian intelligence

00:16into committing acts of sabotage and terrorism. According to news reports, Ukrainian operatives

00:23reportedly used phone scams to pressure vulnerable individuals, ranging from young adults to the

00:29elderly into carrying out illegal acts. The scheme allegedly began with financial fraud,

00:36giving the perpetrators leverage to coerce victims into sabotage. In some cases, victims

00:42were even instructed to perform actions framed as tests of counterterrorism readiness or to

00:49carry out attacks on critical infrastructure. TASS reported that the FSB has detained 10 Russian

00:55nationals across five regions, Comey, Astrakhan, Vologda, Volgograd, and Krasnodar.

01:02According to the agency, these individuals set fire to law enforcement vehicles and disrupted

01:07operations at energy and transport facilities under the direction of what they believe to

01:12be security officials. Investigators say the victims were contacted by people posing as Russian law

01:18enforcement officers. They were allegedly coerced into committing crimes under threat of being charged

01:24with treason, a charge that carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment in Russia on

01:29the false accusation of financing the Ukrainian armed forces. The FSB has warned that Ukrainian

01:36intelligence services are increasingly targeting Russian citizens online through social media and

01:42messaging apps, exploiting their vulnerability to push them into serious criminal activities.

01:47Remember that law enforcement officers, security services, the prosecutor's office, the federal

01:55financial monitoring service, Rosfin monitoring, Russia's central bank, and the portal of government

02:02services would never call citizens via WhatsApp, telegram, or other messaging apps, provide photographs of

02:09their documents, inquire about passport and bank card data, request verification codes, or remotely

02:16recruit them to participate in operational work and other activities. Be vigilant.

02:24Criminal cases have been opened against the detainees under multiple articles of the Russian

02:29criminal code, covering attempted terrorist acts, sabotage, and other serious offenses, carrying potential

02:37sentences of up to 20 years in prison. FSB chief Alexander Bortnikov has noted a significant rise in

02:43sabotage and terror acts allegedly orchestrated by Ukrainian special services within Russia. Authorities,

02:50meanwhile, are urging citizens to remain vigilant and cautious when approached online or through

02:56messaging platforms. As the investigation is currently ongoing, the FSB continued to stress the risks of

03:03online manipulation and coercion, urging the public to verify all contacts claiming to represent official agencies.
