The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has detained two agents of the Russian special services who were collecting data on the locations of Ukraine’s defense forces in the Poltava and Cherkasy regions.
This was announced on the SBU’s website, Ukrinform reports.
In the Cherkasy region, law enforcement officers prevented new attempts by Russia to obtain relevant data on the Defense Forces of Ukraine. A 20-year-old resident of Radyvyliv was detained. He collected information about units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine moving towards the front through the territory of the western region.
When detecting military convoys, he recorded the approximate number of military equipment and its tactical characteristics.
In addition, under the guise of meeting with relatives, the young man traveled to the Lviv region, where he attempted to establish the locations of operational airfields.
In exchange for cooperation, the invaders promised their informant evacuation to Russia and a passport.
A 58-year-old local woman was detained in Poltava for coordinating Russian missile and drone strikes on the city.
To ensure that the enemy could launch attacks outside the Ukrainian air defenses’ zone, the woman collected data on the locations of radar stations outside the city.
She also reported on the results of enemy strikes.
During the searches, cell phones with evidence of work for the Russians were seized from both detainees.
The SBU investigators issued suspicion notices under Part 2 of Article 114-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (unauthorized dissemination of information on the relocation, movement or location of the Armed Forces of Ukraine).
The offenders are in custody. Both face up to eight years in prison.
As Ukrinform reported, the SBU detained three agents of the Russian special services who were coordinating missile strikes on the Ukrainian defense forces’ locations in the Kyiv, Kharkiv and Lviv regions.
