The Southern District Military Court sentenced Ukrainian citizen Artem Malyshev to 27 years in prison, finding him guilty of attempting to blow up the head of a company in the Zaporizhzhia region.

According to investigators, in 2022, Artem Malyshev accepted a Ukrainian intelligence officer's offer to join a terrorist organization.

He was offered to blow up the head of the road maintenance department "Road Management of the Zaporizhzhia Region," RIA Novosti reported on December 29.

Malyshev was given explosive devices and Instructions on how to make them operational. In June 2023, he transported the IED to the yard of a potential victim's home and attached it to the driver's side of the car. The head of the company, however, noticed the device and reported it to law enforcement.

Malyshev was arrested in July of that year. The court found him guilty and sentenced him to 27 years in a maximum-security penal colony, with the first five years to be served in prison, and a fine of 700,000 rubles.
