An elderly Russian woman who set fire to a Russian military official’s car faces 15 years in prison.
Elena Belova, 65, was arrested by police in Moscow after pouring petrol and throwing a match on deputy head of the General Staff Yevgeny Sektarev’s luxury SUV, according to Daily Mail.
But Russian media say Belova was hypnotised by Ukrainian special forces to burn cars.
When she was being arrested, she shouted ‘Azov is Power’, which is seen as a support for Ukraine’s resistance regiment, which is termed as a terror group by Russia.
However, so far it’s not clear whether it was Belova’s alone act or she was part of any plot.
Russian media reports also claimed that her son-in-law also believes that she was recruited by the Ukrainian special services, who taught her how to set fire to cars
