Details: Russia’s Federal Security Service claimed that Bohdan Tsyhanenko, a Ukrainian citizen born in 1978, arrived in Russia via Estonia on 30 July, and left the Russian Federation a day before Dugina's death.

Tsyhanenko allegedly provided Vovk with fake licence plates and documents under the name of Yuliia Zaiko, a citizen of Kazakhstan. According to the FSB, he and Vovk assembled an improvised explosive device in a rented garage on the southwest side of Moscow.

Additionally, the Federal Security Service noted that they have surveillance camera recordings of Tsyhanenko entering Russia, driving a car with Natalia, procuring the fake licence plates and driving away.
