FSB plans terrorist attacks in Russian regions during May 9 parades — InformNapalm

The international intelligence community InformNapalm reported the information, citing sources from within the intelligence community.

According to preliminary data received from HUMINT sources in Russia, the FSB has issued high-level instructions to stage terrorist attacks in several Russian regions during the May 9 parades. At the same time, intelligence sources say that all forces are being deployed to ensure the parade in Moscow takes place without incidents.

"However, the regions are not only left without any protection, but they also plan to create several high-profile incidents. Among the regions being considered for such operations are Khabarovsk, Ulan-Ude, and others. The goal is to blame Ukraine for indiscriminate attacks on civilian gatherings, disrupt 'peace initiatives' from the U.S., and use these events to mobilize additional resources from Russian regions," the statement reads.

The community added that initially, similar terrorist plans were considered for Moscow, but later, the Russian security services decided that the situation could get out of control, so they now plan to carry out the operations in the regions.

• The Center for Countering Disinformation reported that the Kremlin is preparing to use statements from the Russian leader's spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, as well as the symbolism of Victory Day, to achieve maximum mobilization of the population.
