A Russian “double” agent was exposed at a strategic plant in the Dnipropetrovsk region

The Security Service of Ukraine detained an engineer of a strategic defense enterprise in the Dnipropetrovsk region who worked for two Russian special services at once – the FSB and the GRU.

This was reported by the press center of the SBU.

According to the investigation, the Russian special services recruited the man through his son, who is serving a sentence in the Russian Federation for drug crimes. In exchange for the promise of amnesty, the agent agreed to pass secret information to the enemy.

The person in question had access to state secrets and special workshops of the enterprise. He planned to transfer data on the fulfillment of a defense order, as well as the coordinates of production facilities. The Russians considered these facilities as potential targets for missile strikes.

The SBU exposed the agent’s activities in advance, documented his contacts with supervisors, and detained him at his workplace. During the search, security officers seized a phone with evidence of cooperation with the FSB and GRU. The suspect used anonymous chats in messengers to communicate.

The investigation also found that the man tried to recruit other factory workers and security guards.

Investigators have charged him with treason under martial law. The court has chosen a preventive measure – detention without bail. He faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.

It was previously reported that the SBU and the National Police prevented a series of contract killings in Kyiv and the region, which were being prepared by Russian agents.

As a reminder, the SBU counterintelligence detained a Russian military intelligence agent in Rivne who was coordinating air attacks on facilities in the western region of Ukraine.
