The Second Western District Military Court has begun the trial of two Ukrainian citizens, Alexey Morozov and Dmitry Shimansky, who are accused of committing terrorist attacks on Russian territory using light aircraft. According to the indictment presented at the court hearing, the pilots are charged with numerous crimes, including violating international flight and state border rules, terrorist acts, participation in a terrorist community, and illegal trafficking of weapons and explosive devices.

According to the publication "Kommersant", the trial is being held behind closed doors. At the first hearing, the indictment was read out, which reveals details of the defendants' alleged actions. The investigation claims that Morozov and Shimansky used light aircraft to attack Russian targets. These actions, according to the prosecution, were coordinated by Ukrainian special services.

The case materials also indicate that one of the defendants was allegedly offered to commit a terrorist attack using a so-called "dirty bomb" - a device with radioactive components. The details of this episode remain unknown, but the prosecution sees it as part of a broader scheme aimed at undermining security in Russia.

Morozov and Shimansky partially admitted their guilt, but the details of their confessions have not yet been disclosed. The defendants' lawyers claim that their clients' actions were related to the execution of orders, and intend to challenge some of the charges. However, there have been no official comments from the defense.
