Ukraine's security service said yesterday that it had foiled a plot to topple its government.
The country's domestic intelligence agency, the SBU, said on its Telegram channel that four people had been arrested and charged.
They claim the group of conspirators - described as agents working on behalf of Russia - were planning to spark a riot in Kyiv on Sunday.
Using the planned unrest as a distraction, the accused then hoped to "seize" the parliament building "and block its work", according to SBU spokesperson Artem Dekhtyarenko.
Searches of their flats reportedly revealed evidence of their criminal activities including weapons and ammunition, recordings documenting their crimes and various computer equipment.
They could face up to 10 years in prison.
