Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) says it has arrested 106 suspected members of a Ukrainian neo-Nazi group.
The group is accused of using social media and online messaging forums to plan “terrorist acts and mass murders”.
The authority claimed that the suspects had been operating “under the auspices of the Ukrainian special services”.
But Ukraine has denied any links to the suspects, amid rising tensions between the two countries.
A Ukrainian security official told AFP that the allegations were a “media campaign” aimed at discrediting Kyiv.
Western nations have raised fears, accusing Russia of building-up troops near Ukraine ahead of a possible invasion.
