Four arrested for setting fire to Ukrainian Armed Forces vehicles in Zaporizhzhya and Kropyvnytskyi
Ukraine's SBU Security Service and National Police arrested four individuals accused of setting fire to Armed Forces vehicles in Zaporizhzhia and Kropyvnytskyi, the SBU reported on Aug. 29.
Russian forces have formed two arsonist groups, including three minors, targeting Ukrainian military SUVs and Ukrzaliznytsia relay cabinets, according to the SBU.
The attackers sought monetary rewards, used flammable mixtures to start fires, and filmed their actions to create fake narratives about an anti-Ukrainian underground.
Two individuals were detained in Zaporizhzhya for setting fire to Ukrainian military vehicles, and a 41-year-old former engineer and his stepson were arrested in Kropyvnytskyi for attempting to burn military vehicles.
The suspects face up to eight years in prison.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
