The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has prevented an attempt by criminals from Russia to join the ranks of Kyiv-based volunteer units.

Two Russian criminals were detained in Kyiv: one of them turned out to be a Russian citizen, who was on the NSDC sanctions list as a criminal boss complicit in a number of grave crimes. In this regard, he was earlier banned from entering Ukraine.

Another perpetrator is a Russian recidivist, repeatedly sentenced to prison terms, including for murder. He had also been staying in Ukraine illegally.
