"Pro-Russian" culprit arrested in France on suspicion of plotting terror attack

This was reported by Le Figaro, Ukrinform saw.

"A 26-year-old man sustained serious burns after making explosives and was taken to the hospital," the newspaper reports. According to the report, the perpetrator is a "pro-Russian Ukrainian". Sources in other French media refer to him as "a person holding Ukrainian and Russian citizenships", as well as "originating from the Russian-speaking region of Donbas".

The National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor's Office has launched an investigation on charges of "participation in a terrorist criminal community" and "possession of an incendiary or explosive substance with the purpose of preparing to destroy, damage, or cause harm in connection with a terrorist act."

One of the versions checked by law enforcement is that the man could have sought to attack Ukraine-bound cargo at the Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport, located nearby.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, showcasing "coffins" by the Eiffel Tower and the looting of the Shoah Memorial may be part of a special operation run by Russia.
