  "account": "Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) has detained a Russian national, aged 45, who worked as a security officer at the British Embassy in Moscow. The FSB claims he was recruited by Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) to gather information for a planned attack on British Ambassador Nigel Casey and other diplomats.\n\nThe suspect told the FSB that he was approached by a pro-Ukrainian blogger, Dmitry Karpenko, who allegedly recruited him. According to the suspect, Karpenko tasked him with recording information about the ambassador's staff, their travel, and activities. Screenshots of text messages between the suspect and Karpenko were released by the FSB, showing details of the ambassador's residence occupants and their schedules.\n\nThe FSB asserts that Karpenko was part of the \"Look for your Own\" project, a Ukrainian initiative launched during the 2022 invasion, aimed at helping Russian families identify fallen soldiers. However, the FSB argues that the project is often used to share videos of defectors who have joined terrorist organizations, and that Karpenko, under the alias \"Apostol Dmitry,\" was acting on behalf of the SBU. The FSB claims the plan was to carry out a \"false flag\" attack, blaming Russia for it, to provoke the UK into armed conflict, secure more weapons for Ukraine, and impose stricter sanctions on Russia.\n\nThe FSB has filed a criminal case against the suspect under Article 275 of the Russian Criminal Code. The agency advises Russians to avoid contacting Karpenko and other pro-Ukrainian bloggers, warning that they \"intend to draw compatriots into committing high treason and other particularly grave crimes, punishable by up to life imprisonment.\"",
  "summary": "Russia’s FSB published a video of the interrogation of a Russian citizen who worked as a security officer at the British Embassy in Moscow. In it, he appears to confess that he had passed intelligence to a Ukrainian handler intended to be used in an attack on the ambassador.",
