The FSB stated that he is giving confessions, allegedly components for an explosive device were seized from him, as well as "communication devices containing correspondence with a curator," reported "Interfax".

A criminal case is being investigated under the article on preparation for a terrorist act. In addition, a check is being conducted for signs of treason, according to a statement from the united press service of the courts of the Stavropol Territory.

The suspect detained in the Stavropol Territory for preparing a terrorist attack against a special operation participant himself suggested ways to carry out the explosion to Ukrainian special services. This follows from a video published by the FSB's public relations center.
