The Security Service of Ukraine uncovered a large-scale and shocking conspiracy involving very prominent figures — former Deputy Head of the State Emergency Service and owner of the company “Pozhmashyna” Oleg Averyanov together with the head of the Chernihiv regional branch of the Batkivshchyna party, Dmytro Nikitin.
According to the investigation, the influential figures, motivated by business conflicts and personal grievances, decided to enlist criminal elements to organize a whole series of brutal crimes, including terror attacks on territorial recruitment centers, bombings of residential buildings, and attempts on judges' lives.
Construction Crane as a Murder Weapon and Contracted Attacks on Territorial Recruitment Centers
It all began with ordinary business disputes in the Lviv region. Because of a conflict with a developer, the perpetrators planned to blow up a construction crane near a residential complex. The plan was brutally cynical: after the explosion, the multi-ton structure was supposed to fall onto the adjacent apartment building and parked cars with people, which would have inevitably caused mass casualties. The perpetrators were offered five thousand dollars for this “job.” However, the security services acted in advance: law enforcement “infiltrated” the group with their own people, simulated the explosion, and delivered a video report to the clients.
But the organizers' appetites did not stop there. The next idea was to order terror attacks on Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Centers. The perpetrators discussed attacks on about two dozen centers across the country. They offered 20 thousand dollars for blowing up a small district center, and for a larger facility — all 50 thousand. One target was a building in Kolomyia. The perpetrators even manufactured an improvised explosive device, but the SBU again carried out a simulated attack, preventing a tragedy, for which the clients paid 13 thousand dollars. By the way, the investigation is now checking a possible Russian link in these plans.
