Arson attacks in Ukraine have intensified, with numerous incidents linked to Russian special services. In recent years, the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) and National Police have detained several individuals, including minors and foreign agents, involved in setting fires to military vehicles, Ukrzaliznytsia facilities, and administrative buildings. These acts are believed to be coordinated sabotage efforts by Russian operatives, aimed at destabilizing Ukraine. The SSU continues to thwart such plans, uncovering networks of arsonists and bringing perpetrators to justice. This rising threat underscores the urgent need for heightened security measures and international awareness.
