Not unexpected -- Putin used the same tactic in Moscow at the beginning of his reign where the FSB blew up an apartment building in Moscow and then blamed the Chechyns as a pretext to invade Chechnya. The bomber detained was said to be extremely professional explosive expert and a member of a "foreign special service"

Ukraine's Security Service detained a Russian saboteur in Donetsk Oblast on March 10, said SBU Chief Valentyn Nalyvaichenko. The suspect is accused of preparing explosions and orchestrating other acts of diversion, said Nalyvaichenko in a statement on March 11. His activity is suspected of serving as a pretext for a wider Russian military invasion of Ukraine beyond Crimea.
The 37-year-old man, who was not identified, carried a Russian passport and was detained jointly by the police and the SBU.
The Russian Embassy in Kyiv did not immediately comment on the detention.
"The danger of the detainee is that he's not just a regular guy, he's a trained, professional saboteur," Nalyvaichenko said. "And this individual walked about the land of miners with explosives and set up diversion groups to prepare explosions in public places where masses of people had gathered."
Nalyvaichenko said the man was a member of a "foreign special service" and has organized a number of extremist groups in eastern Ukraine. He has also allegedly supplied the groups with explosives and weapons.
The SBU said the man has served in Russia's terrorist hot spots, including Dagestan and Ossetia. He carried explosive substances and detonators in his personal belongings, Nalyvaichenko said. SBU started a criminal investigation against the Russian individual for illegal possession of arms and explosives, which can yield a prison sentence of three to five years.
