The FSB has apprehended a 20-year-old dual citizen of Germany and Russia in Nizhny Novgorod for allegedly planning a sabotage attack. He reportedly confessed to preparing an explosion on a railroad track in exchange for a financial reward. Accusations suggest he is associated with a neo-Nazi group and acted on behalf of Ukrainian intelligence. Recent patterns of detentions in Russia against both citizens and foreigners, including other Germans, have drawn accusations of ‘hostage-taking’ from the West amid ongoing tensions following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
