FSB further noted that the mastermind Denisov traveled to Russia from Kyiv through Latvia in February and provided the explosive device used in the murder then he left the country shortly after the attack.
In detail, the agency confirmed that the Ukrainian man collected some information about Tatarsky and planned his crime. It added that he used an intermediary to deliver the bomb to Daria Trepova who in her turn took it to the cafe where the military blogger was.
The organizers of the terrorist act in St. Petersburg, as a result of which Vladlen Tatarsky was killed, were the Ukrainian special services and their agents, including Russian oppositionists who are hiding abroad.
