Petro Romaniuk, a native of the village of Strugi in the Khmelnytskyi oblast of Ukraine, resided in the small town of Suoyarvi in Karelia, where he worked as an assistant train driver. Romaniuk was accused of throwing two Molotov cocktails through the window of the local military enlistment office on the night of May 12, 2024. The flames were quickly extinguished, and the incident was not discovered until the following morning. The damage to the building was estimated at 50,000 rubles. The case was initially opened under a charge of property damage motivated by hooliganism, but was later reclassified as an act of terrorism. On March 13, 2025, Romaniuk was sentenced to 15 years in a maximum-security penal colony; he maintains his innocence and denies any involvement in the arson.
