22-year-old resident of Svetlogorsk. Maxim is being tried “for organizing the activities of a terrorist organization and participating in the activities of such an organization.” Maxim was found guilty of joining an “extremist formation” (the “Victory” plan) and planning to blow up the railway in the Svetlogorsk region. The state publication writes that in order to stop the war in Ukraine, the miniature “was ready to do anything.” When the guy arrived at the railway, he was ambushed by security forces and was detained.
