Medvedev Pyotr Evgenevich

In the Krasnodar Krai, on April 13, 2025, 21-year-old local resident Pyotr Medvedev was detained. He was charged with high treason, aiding terrorist activities, and illegal possession of weapons and ammunition.

According to the investigation, while in Krasnodar, Medvedev learned from an acquaintance that the latter was in contact with representatives of the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU). The man also wanted to cooperate with the intelligence services in exchange for monetary compensation. Subsequently, from Moscow, he established contact with an SBU representative and was assigned to retrieve explosives and other devices from a cache in Novorossiysk for the purpose of blowing up the building of PJSC 'Electrical Networks of Kuban'. On April 13, 2025, Medvedev traveled from the capital to the Krasnodar Krai and intended to proceed to the cache location, but was detained by law enforcement officers.

The court placed the young man in pre-trial detention.

On September 15, 2026, the Southern Military District Court found Pyotr Medvedev guilty and sentenced him to 18 years in prison, the first 4 years of which must be served in a maximum-security prison, and the remainder in a strict-regime correctional colony, along with a fine of 300,000 rubles.
