Killer parcel

A number of terrorist attacks were supposed to go off in Belarus ahead of Victory Day and on May 9th. The KGB foiled these attempts.

Belarus was supposed to be shaken by explosions on the bright holiday of May 9th. The explosive devices were disguised as household appliances, which have been transported to Belarus from abroad. Mail parcels were collected by different people, who were told not to ask too many questions. The parcels had to be activated at specific times in order to cause casualties and stir up the situation in the country. Traces of the client behind the terrorist attacks lead to Ukraine. The State Security Committee (KGB) managed to prevent bloodshed and stop the attempt to stir up the country. This was stated by Chairman of the State Security Committee Ivan Tertel. All the details of the planning of the terrorist attacks were shown on the air of the TV channel ONT in the Killer parcel investigation film.

Explosives in household appliances — this has already happened...

According to the film, the parcels went through regular postal delivery services. In addition to the cooking appliances, in which the explosives were located, there were other things in the boxes, clothes — in order to distract attention. By the way, the Ukrainian special services wanted to eliminate the leadership of Crimea in the same way. However, after the assassination attempt on the peninsula failed, the main intelligence department of the Ukrainian Defence Ministry instructed a 23-year-old Belarusian Valery Vodin to carry out a similar operation in our country.
A homosexual and ardent white-red-white nationalist, he actively jumped at the rebellion in August 2020, and left for Ukraine in 2022, where he is now participating in hostilities as part of a unit called Kalinovsky regiment. After receiving instructions from the Central Intelligence Office of the Ukrainian Defence Ministry, he will instruct his good friend, 29-year-old Victoria Volchek, to pick up a package containing cooking appliances with explosives. The parcel will arrive at the delivery point in the Kamennaya Gorka microdistrict of the capital on March 21st. Shelf life is a week. From here, the suspected Volchek will pick up the box of explosives. However, Vodin asked not only to pick up the cooking appliances. He needed them somewhere to hide for a while. The girl will not be able to fulfil the request to bury the cooking appliances. Then Vodin will find other helpers.

Parallels with the terrorist attack in St. Petersburg

His another friend, 24-year-old Anna Savochkina, will respond to the request. She is the same representative of the white-red-white nationalist community, like himself. Volchek gives the box to Savochkina, and she and her mother will go to hide the cooking appliances in the cemetery in Kolodishchi. The film showed how a sapper later works at the same place and extracts them from the ground.

There were a quote: ‘That sure as hell are explosive means’. During interrogation the suspect herself will say that she believed that the box may contain some kind of device for tracking, collecting information, or maybe some kind of wiretapping.

It is quite reasonable that the authors of the film draw clear parallels with the terrorist attack organised by Daria Trepova, which happened on April 2nd in St. Petersburg. Then Trepova will bring the figurine to the creative evening of Vladlen Tatarsky, where the war correspondent will die. After all, the Russian woman also ‘thought that there was nothing wrong with her gift’.
The journalists of the TV channel ONT will remind you in the film that the terrorist attack in St. Petersburg was also organised by the Ukrainian special services. Their agents trained Trepova, who, on assignment, collected information, photographed and filmed videos of various objects. After completing the next ‘order’, the curators demanded a photo and a written report. And this is how it turns out: Savochkina will send the same report to Vodin — geolocation and route, photos of how she buried the cooking appliance, and a detailed location — how to find the hiding place.
When the first cooking appliance was already buried in the cemetery in Kolodishchi, the second one continued to be in Volchek’s apartment. She was taken later by 29-year-old Andrei Grigoriev, Vodin’s intimate partner. In March, Grigoriev will not refuse his lover a favour — he will take the cooking appliance and hide it in the Avtoremontnik-124 gardening company, which is next to Olekhnovichi. On the way there, he will send a detailed photo, video report and geolocation. Vodin needs this to report on the assignment to the Ukrainian curators.

The KGB reported that all the defendants in this case were detained and placed in a pre-trial detention centre. They pleaded guilty, co-operate with the investigation and testify. They face punishment up to and including the death penalty. Although they could be exempted from liability if informed and assisted.

The explosive is of American make

Vladimir Atrashkov, Chief of the Central Office for Special Expert Evaluations of the State Forensic Examination Committee of Belarus, shared the following information in the film, “Our specialists have established that the mail parcels contain plastic explosive substances and electric detonators, which are sufficient for assembling several explosive devices. The examination revealed that the explosive can be classified as plastic explosive C4 of American make. This explosive is often used for carrying out terrorist attacks.”

Moreover, the film emphasises that the explosives would have been sufficient for derailing several trains at once or for staging a terrorist attack among people celebrating Victory Day on May 9th.

***
What conclusions can be drawn from what you see? The methods used by the special services of Ukraine can already be called a well-recognised terrorist style. The explosion of the Crimean Bridge, where explosives were planted in rolls of building plastic film. A terrorist attack in St. Petersburg, where a bust stuffed with hexogen exploded. The cooking appliances with a deadly filling that appeared in the Crimea and Belarus. A drone with explosives in Machulishchi... And everywhere — obedient performers who were remotely controlled by curators from Ukraine. The latter will surely resort to their vile tactics more than once. So the capture of another group of failed terrorists should not lull us to sleep. They will not leave us alone, as the Head of State has repeatedly stressed. Therefore, it is especially important not to lose vigilance. And don’t panic: the Belarusian special services have proven time and again that they are capable of protecting our citizens. So the Victory Day in Belarus passed quietly. No incidents. The State Security Committee timely prevented the attempted terrorist attacks on May 9th. It’s even hard to imagine what would have happened if what had been conceived in Kiev had come true.
At the end of the Killer parcel film, its creators remind you: just let us know if you find yourself in a difficult situation, if you are drawn into criminal activity, if foreign intelligence services or other persons are trying to use you.
