MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Russian security forces have thwarted a terrorist attack planned by agents cooperating with Ukrainian intelligence services targeting a military serviceman in the Moscow Region, Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) said on Wednesday. “Russia’s FSB has thwarted the preparation of a terrorist act by accomplices of Ukrainian intelligence services in the Moscow Region,” FSB said in a statement.
