Russia Charges Ukraine's Intel Chief With 104 Acts of Terrorism

Russia’s Investigative Committee (IC) has in absentia charged Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate, with 104 cases of terrorism carried out on Russian territory.

"Budanov K. A. is charged with 104 offenses under Article 205.2. (Public Calls for Committing of Terrorist Activity or Public Justification of Terrorism),” a representative of the Basmanny District Court of the city of Moscow said.

When it comes to Budanov’s case, the court ruled for “two months of pretrial detention as a preventative measure.” The period will run from the moment of his extradition or detention on the territory of Russia.
