The only successful one, according to the prosecution, was the explosion of the car of the director of the local SUP “City Transport” Ivan Tkach – he died in the hospital, his colleague was seriously injured.

Other episodes — attempts to attack the railway and collaborators, including the “head of the military-civilian administration” of Melitopol — were unsuccessful, according to the case materials.

In their final statements, all three alleged torture and pressure from Russian security forces. Artem Murdid said he testified under torture. Hanna Murdid said she was beaten and electrocuted after her arrest.
