A Russian man accused of trying to blow up two court buildings on behalf of Ukraine has been detained and charged with terrorism, Russia's FSB security services said on Monday.
The meeting was significant in the backdrop of the recent terror attack in Russia that was carried out by extremists with Central Asian origins who may have been influenced by Pakistan-based seminaries.
Teenage cloakroom attendant Artem Donskov helped people flee to safety when gunmen stormed a concert hall near Moscow last month. Now his mother is trying to get him to see a psychologist.
When President Vladimir Putin said "radical Islamists" had carried out the attack, he called it "just an element in a series of attempts of those who have been at war with our country since 2014," an explicit reference to Ukraine and the upheaval that year that led to the illegal annexation of Crimea.
