One of the hostages of the terrorist who seized the bus in Lutsk , Aleksandr Subolny, said that before surrendering to law enforcement officers, the attacker said that he was bluffing.

This is reported by TSN .

Also, the terrorist systematically called the hostages’ phones, spoke calmly, but asked not to make sudden movements.

“ Before leaving, he said that I was going to surrender. Don’t worry. I bluffed that there were explosives on the bus. There are no explosives, ”said Subolny.

Until one o’clock in the morning, the released hostages were questioned by investigators and examined by doctors. The people were very tired, but happy.

Now terrorist Maxim Krivoshey is in jail. The police said that he was cooperating with the investigation. On Thursday, July 23, he will be chosen a preventive measure.

The man faces punishment under several articles at once – this is the taking of hostages, illegal handling of weapons, encroachment on the life of a law enforcement officer and a terrorist act.
