Similar FSB allegations have often been disputed or unconfirmed by Western and Ukrainian reports. This makes the story misleading and unreliable.
Ukraine blows up recruit in botched bomb plot – FSB

The incident, reported by Russian state media outlet RT, adds to a pattern of alleged Ukrainian sabotage and intelligence operations inside Russia. The FSB framed the death as evidence of Ukrainian disregard for its own operatives.
