In Dnipro city, the Security Service of Ukraine exposed an underground cell of the Shariy Party. Its representatives were preparing mass riots in the region.
This was reported in the press service of the SBU.
According to the investigation, the cell of the banned party was organized by a resident of the Donetsk region, who came to Dnipro under the guise of an internally displaced person. He organized an underground branch in his home. For the conspiracy, the attacker contacted only “verified” people and carefully concealed his address.
