According to Ukrinform, the SSU reported this.

Following a multi-stage special operation, SSU officers simultaneously detained four enemy informants in the eastern and central regions of Ukraine.

The investigation revealed that the suspects operated independently of one another but had a common handler based in Russia.

The enemy’s priority targets were logistics depots containing weapons and ammunition for the Defense Forces, as well as air defense combat positions.

In addition, the agents collected data on locations with the highest concentrations of personnel and military equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

It was established that the perpetrators came to the attention of Russian intelligence when they posted anti-Ukrainian comments in Telegram channel chat rooms.

One of the network’s members turned out to be a former employee of a machine-building plant in Kramatorsk, who was gathering geolocation data on operational airfields and fortifications in the region.

Two other agents passed on the coordinates of military facilities in the Dnipropetrovsk region to the Russians. Among them were an employee of a municipal utility company from Kamianske and a deserter from Pavlohrad.

Also, in the Kirovohrad region, an unemployed man from Znamianka was detained; acting on orders from the FSB, he had been patrolling the city and recording geolocations that he believed were being used by the Defense Forces.

To maintain secrecy, the suspects transmitted intelligence data to a Russian intelligence officer via an anonymous chat in a messaging app and deleted the chat history after each communication session.

SSU officers uncovered the subversive activities of the enemy agents in advance, documented their crimes, and detained all four participants.

During searches, mobile phones containing evidence of their work for the FSB were seized from the detainees.

SSU investigators notified the suspects that they are suspected of violating Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (treason committed under martial law).

The suspects are currently in custody. They face life imprisonment with confiscation of property.

As reported by Ukrinform, the Security Service of Ukraine detained a Russian agent in Kropyvnytskyi who was preparing new missile and drone attacks on facilities of Ukraine’s fuel and energy complex.
