Nationalists, but not Ukrainian. What do we know about the raid of saboteurs in the Bryansk region
«Russian Volunteer Corps» Denis Kapustin, who was on video from the corps' sortie from Ukraine to the Bryansk region on March 2.
According to the FSB, Kapustin's unnamed ally was going to blow up Malofeev's car.
The agency released footage of a man dressed in black leaning towards the rear fender of a Mercedes car parked off the highway. After gluing on the video, the sappers inspect the car in the underground parking. An “improvised explosive device” was found under the bottom, according to the secret service.
Because of the bomb, Kapustin was charged with charges of terrorist attack, participation in a terrorist organization and trafficking in explosives (articles 205, 205.4 and 222.1 of the Criminal Code).
In the same press release, the FSB credited Kapustin with organizing the explosion “at an oil and gas facility in the Volgograd Region” in August 2022. During the detention of two people — «citizens of the Russian Federation Keiner and Ushkov» — were shot dead.
The video from the FSB showed an oil pipeline in a field, a car with more than 20 bullet holes on the windshield and hood, and two blurred bodies with blood stains. In the press release, the dead are presented as “supporters of the right-wing radical organization White Rex, organized by [Kapustin], "Restruct", "Thor Steiner" and "Carpathian Sich".
At the same time, White Rex is a clothing brand created by Denis Kapustin for the far right, and Thor Steinar is a German brand, also popular among nationalists.
