As a result of a special counterintelligence operation, an FSB agent was detained who tried to fatally poison the commanders of a combat unit of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Zaporozhye region. The SBU press center reported this today, March 12.
The attacker turned out to be an active serviceman of the Ukrainian army. To commit the crime, he planned to add a toxic substance to the water of the bath and laundry complex, which was used by the command staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the report says.
It is noted that SBU officers exposed the traitor’s connection with the Russian special service in advance and documented his subversive activities step by step, which made it possible to carry out a set of measures to provide for Ukrainian defenders, as well as to detain an FSB agent at the stage of his preparation for sabotage.
In addition, during the investigation, the Security Service established that the attacker was performing another task – reconnaissance for the FSB of the locations and movements of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the front line, the SBU notes.
According to the investigation, the traitor was recruited through his parents living in the temporarily occupied part of the Luhansk region:
- the invaders kidnapped the husband’s relatives directly from their home, and then imprisoned them in a local Russian dungeon;
- there the victims were subjected to severe torture, demanding that they persuade their son to work in favor of the aggressor country;
- further communication between the traitor and his Russian “curator” took place through an anonymous chat in the messenger.
During the search, the detainee’s mobile phone, used to communicate with the occupiers, was confiscated. He was informed of suspicion under Part 2 of Art. 111 of the Criminal Code (high treason committed under martial law).
The attacker is currently in custody. He faces life imprisonment.
