Criminal investigation officers tracked down a terror group established by the Russian Federation on the separatist-controlled territory of Donbas. Through recruited individuals, the saboteurs smuggled arms and explosives fro the occupied areas to the rest of Ukraine.

"The terrorists' accomplices made caches in clearly agreed locations so that they can be used later to destabilize the situation in large cities," the head of the National Police directorate in Donetsk Region, Vyacheslav Abroskyn, said.
