Ukraine's intelligence service says it thwarted a Russian plot to blackmail a local teenage girl into blowing up a police building by threatening to make public intimate pictures on her phone.
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and National Police detained the 14-year-old in the western Ukrainian city of Ternopil before the improvised explosive device could be detonated, the SBU said on the Telegram app on Friday.
The agency said the teen's Russian handlers had planned to detonate the homemade bomb, killing the girl and passersby.
Investigators said she had come to the Russian security service's attention when looking for money-making opportunities on Telegram.
They said hackers had gained remote access to her phone and retrieved compromising photos. "They then blackmailed her, threatening to leak explicit photos of the minor online," the SBU said.
Having coerced the teenager into cooperating, they then instructed her on how to make an explosive device.
"The occupiers had recruited her to carry out a suicide bombing near the local district police department," said the SBU.
I see this differently:
Putin has done such a job sowing discord in the US that a damn decent amount of Americans, mostly on the right, have taken his side. I think this is a test to see how much American support there will be to against him. 30 years ago they were still the evil empire behind the iron curtain. Now? fork, I've heard people say they like Putin more than previous American leaders because he is "more manly" than them.
I'll say this: If you need another person to feel "manly," you're never going to be a man.
