Moscow court arrests Budanov in absentia | Kyiv Independent |

Meanwhile, in Russia, a Moscow court on April 21 arrested Ukraine's military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov in absentia over what it claimed were allegations of "organizing terrorist attacks."

Budanov immediately reacted to the arrest warrant by applauding it as "a good indicator of our work," referring to the work of Ukraine's military intelligence. He added that it motivated him to work "even better," in a commentary to the Ukrainian online newspaper Ukrainska Pravda.

While the Moscow court did not disclose which incident it deemed Budanov allegedly responsible for, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) has earlier accused Budanov and Ukraine's intelligence of organizing the Crimean Bridge blast.
