The SSU detained a traitor who was leaking air defence positions to the occupiers

Military counterintelligence of the Security Service detained another FSB agent in the Kharkiv region. He was preparing a series of missile and bomb attacks on the combat positions of the Defence Forces protecting the region from a new Russian offensive.

According to available data, the main targets of the enemy were the bases of radar stations and air defence missile systems.

To engage Ukrainian targets by fire, the agent tried to establish and transmit coordinates to the Russian intelligence service.

To accomplish this task, he drove around the suburbs of the regional center, where he secretly recorded the locations of possible deployment of units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

However, the Security Service prevented the implementation of enemy plans and detained the attacker in his own home.

At the same time, additional measures were taken to ensure the security of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ positions.

A criminal weapon was confiscated from the detainee.

According to the investigation, the enemy henchman turned out to be a 30-year-old resident of one of the villages in the Kharkiv region.

At the end of 2023, he was recruited into the intelligence apparatus of the enemy intelligence service and received the task, in addition to transmitting data on air defense facilities, to mobilize into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

But military counterintelligence prevented the penetration of an enemy agent into a unit of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the registration stage.

Based on the evidence received, Security Service investigators informed the detainee of suspicion under Part 2 of Art. 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (state betrayal committed under martial law).

The attacker is in custody. He faces life imprisonment.

The special operation was carried out under the procedural guidance of the regional prosecutor’s office.
