Kiev is turning them into \u201chuman bombs,\u201d the security agency has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s security and intelligence agencies are using Russian citizens, including elderly women, to carry out suicide missions, Russia\u2019s Federal Security Service (FSB) has said. At least five people were targeted in recent plots, the agency claimed in a statement released on Monday.<\/p>\n

Using fraud schemes and psychological pressure, Kiev recruited the women through Telegram and WhatsApp, allegedly posing as Russian law enforcement officials and convincing them to cooperate. According to FSB, the scammers stole the women\u2019s personal funds \u2013 including savings from bank accounts and proceeds from property sales.<\/p>\n

Under the pretext of recovering these assets, they were tasked with monitoring the homes and vehicles of Russian military personnel, storing improvised explosive devices (IEDs) from hidden caches, and ultimately delivering the devices, disguised as household items, to service members. The plan was to use the women as \u201chuman bombs,\u201d<\/em> the FSB added.<\/p>\n

The agency urged the relatives of elderly or socially isolated people, as well as minors, to \u201ceducate them about scams and the risks of being drawn into criminal or terrorist activities.\u201d<\/em> It also reiterated that Russian officials and financial institutions never request money transfers to so-called \u201csafe accounts\u201d<\/em> or demand the handover of cash to couriers.<\/p>\n

Last month, the head of the State Duma\u2019s Information Policy Committee, Sergey Boyarsky, warned that Telegram could be banned in Russia if it fails to comply with domestic data laws. \u201cTelegram does not comply with the existing legislation when it comes to the [storage] of personal data\u2026 and it will face sanctions, which are most likely to be more severe than now,\u201d<\/em> he told TASS.<\/p>\n

Russian authorities have voiced concerns shared by other countries in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization regarding extremist and radical content being sent via messaging platforms. Moscow is now promoting \u201cdigital sovereignty\u201d<\/em> and has been encouraging domestic firms to build secure, state-run alternatives.<\/p>\n

VK, Russia\u2019s largest social media company, is developing \u201cMax,\u201d<\/em> a multi-purpose national messaging service which has been likened to China\u2019s WeChat.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
