Russia sentences 39 for arson/sabotage plots linked to Ukrainian recruiters

Russian courts sentenced 39 individuals from 17 regions to 10-26 years for arson and sabotage planning, allegedly recruited by Ukrainian special services via online job groups. The FSB claims coordination with Investigative Committee and MVD thwarted the activities. This continues a pattern of domestic security crackdowns amid the war, with the sentencing scale indicating a significant internal security response.
