Two residents of Kefe (Feodosia) were sentenced to 10 and 16 years in prison on charges of attempted murder of pro-Kremlin blogger Oleksandr
Talipov. This was reported by the press service of the Investigative Committee of Russia.
According to the investigation, from December 2022 to June 2023, the
Ukrainian special services allegedly “persuaded the resident of Kefe
to cooperate through a messenger.”
“To check the candidate, the curators suggested that he set fire to any car with the letter “Z” symbol, which was done on the
night of February 22, 2023,” – the statement said.
Investigators claim that the accused involved his friend in this
activity, and together they allegedly planned to “eliminate the public
figure.” The first attempt in June 2023 was unsuccessful – the
remote-controlled device did not work. However, in the evening of July
12, 2023, during a second attempt, a moped exploded in the yard of a
house in Kefe, where an improvised explosive device was installed.
