Russia’s FSB (successor to the Soviet KGB) has been investigating the attack on the Kerch Bridge and this morning announced some of its preliminary results.
The FSB detained eight accomplices in the preparation of the attack. "Currently, five citizens of Russia, three citizens of Ukraine and Armenia, who participated in the preparation of the crime, have been detained within the framework of the criminal case," the CSO said.
By the numbers, the FSB has found more Russians involved in sabotaging the bridge than any other nationality. Which is an interesting commentary on the true depth of public support within Russia for Putin’s war in Ukraine.
Russia has a population of ~145 million people. I don't think you make any assessment of public support for the war based on the actions of five of them.

The plot thickens.
