The FSB agent turned out to be a local resident wanted for fraud and theft.
The Counterintelligence of the Security Service detained an agent of the FSB of the Russian Federation, reconnaissance of the combat positions of the Ukrainian air defense in the direction of Avdeevsky. The SBU press service reported this on Monday, March 18.
The defendant turned out to be a local resident wanted for fraud and theft. To avoid punishment for these crimes, in the summer of 2023, the woman fled to the Zhytomyr region.
Hiding in a rented house, he actively engaged in chats on Russian Telegram channels, where he tried to find income. Thus, the attacker came to the attention of the Russian intelligence service. Later, he was remotely recruited by a career FSB officer.
On his instructions, the agent continued his talks with former fellow villagers in the Donetsk region in order to “secretly” receive the “necessary” information from them.
The traitor, under the guise of a daily telephone conversation, tried to find out the facts of the work of the Ukrainian air defense during the air attack of the Russian Federation.
If “confirmed,” he further asked about the approximate location of the firing positions of anti-aircraft missile systems of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The invaders needed intelligence information to “bypass” Ukrainian air defenses on the eastern front.
However, the Security Service thwarted the enemy’s plans. When the Russian agent was exposed early on, SBU officials gradually documented his criminal actions and implemented air defense security measures.
During the final stage of the special operation, the defendant was confined to temporary housing. During the search, a mobile phone was found on him, which he used for reconnaissance and subversive activities.
The detainee was informed of the suspicion of high treason committed under martial law. The attacker is in custody. He faces up to life in prison.
We remind you that the Russian informant who leaked artillery positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Avdeevka received a sentence of 12 years behind bars.
The SBU also detained a family of traitors who, on orders from the FSB, were preparing missile attacks on Ukraine and burying the remains of dead Russian military personnel near Kiev.
