The FSB agent group that spied on the Defense Forces in Kyiv, Kharkiv and Chernihiv was detained

The Security Service neutralized the FSB agent group that operated in Kyiv, Kharkiv and Chernihiv. As a result of a multi-stage special operation in different regions, three henchmen of the Russian Federation were detained, who were scouting the locations of the Defense Forces. This was reported to the SBU, reports UNN.

According to reports, the agents acted separately from each other, but focused on one curator from the Russian Federation. One of the persons involved was carrying out hostile tasks, pretending to be a former law enforcement officer. When documents were checked, he showed a fake veteran’s ID.

All the detainees were “on the hook” of the Russian special service through Telegram channels, where they were looking for quick money.

In exchange for money, the occupiers sent agents to go around the area and covertly photograph the location of Defense Forces personnel and military equipment.

Thus, in Kyiv and Chernihiv, the invaders were most interested in the deployment locations of border units and control points of the Armed Forces. In Kharkiv, one of the participants tracked the coordinates of the Ukrainian troops’ fortified areas, which are involved in the defense of the regional center.

The activities of the enemy group were coordinated by a staff member of the FSB military counterintelligence. His identity and other personal data have already been established, the SBU said.

All three agents were caught red-handed when they were conducting reconnaissance near military facilities.

The SBU investigators informed them of the suspicion under Part 2 of Art. 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (treason committed under martial law).

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