Kiev planned to target the transport link with an explosive-laden vehicle, the agency has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Ukrainian terrorist car bomb attack on the Crimean Bridge has been prevented, according to Russia\u2019s Federal Security Service (FSB).<\/p>\n

The explosive-laden electric car prepared by Kiev\u2019s spy services has been intercepted and demined, the agency announced on Monday.<\/p>\n

A Chevrolet Volt with a powerful improvised explosive device planted inside it had arrived in Russia from Ukraine via third countries, it said.<\/p>\n

According to the FSB, the rigged vehicle had crossed into Russia from Georgia. The Ukrainian plan was to deliver the Chevrolet to Russia\u2019s southern Krasnodar Region via a car transporter truck and then \u201cpass it on to another driver, who was supposed to ride in it to Russia\u2019s Crimea via the Crimean Bridge and become an unwitting suicide bomber,\u201d<\/em> the agency said.

\u201cDespite all the trickery by the Ukrainian terrorists, the FSB officers managed to promptly uncover their plans, identify and defuse the explosive device\u2026 and also detain all those involved in its delivery to the territory of our country,\u201d<\/em> the FSB said.<\/p>\n

The agency noted that this marked Kiev\u2019s second attempt to target the 19km-long Crimean Bridge, also known as the Kerch Bridge, with an explosive-laden vehicle in 2025. In April, the security service of Belarus intercepted a minivan loaded with more than 500 kg of synthetic explosives, intended for an attack on the strategic transport link connecting Krasnodar Region and Crimea in Russia, it said.

RT\u2019s Igor Zhadov reports that some 130kg of Finnish-made explosives had been packed into the Chevrolet Volt.<\/p>\n

The driver tasked with delivering the car to Crimea said during an interrogation that he knew that he had been working for Ukraine. However, he\u00a0added that he had no idea there was a bomb inside.<\/p>\n

He claims to have been hired to register the vehicle in Russia and deliver it to the peninsula via the Crimean Bridge for $2,500.<\/p>\n

Senior Russian diplomat Rodion Miroshnik suggested that the bombing plot was \u201ca new attempt by Ukraine and Co. to commit a terrorist act as a provocation to disrupt negotiations and the search for a peaceful resolution\u201d<\/em> of the conflict between Moscow and Kiev.<\/p>\n
