Hunting for secrets of a defense plant: SBU detained a Russian agent couple in Mykolaiv
The Security Service of Ukraine reported that an agent couple was exposed in Mykolaiv, who were collecting data on the work of a defense enterprise in southern Ukraine. The female agent and her roommate were trying to obtain secret information to pass on to Russian special services, but were detained at the initial stage.
This was reported by the press service of the SBU.
According to law enforcement, a resident of Mykolaiv recruited by Russians used a company she controlled to collect information about the locations of defense facilities and the fulfillment of government orders. She involved her roommate, an employee of a defense plant, in the illegal activity, who provided her with data about production shops and the status of order fulfillment.
Law enforcement officers detained the woman just as she was preparing to hand over the materials she had received to the Russian “curator” – Sergei Lebedev, known under the pseudonym “Shaggy”, who works for the FSB and Russian military intelligence in Donetsk.
During the searches, a smartphone with evidence of correspondence with a liaison officer was found on her. The agent has already been notified of suspicion under the articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine: high treason and unauthorized dissemination of information about the Armed Forces of Ukraine under martial law. She faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
She is currently in custody, and the issue of a preventive measure is being resolved regarding her accomplice. The special operation was conducted by SBU officers under the procedural guidance of the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office in the Field of Defense of the Southern Region.
By the way, the Security Service of Ukraine detained two agents of the Russian GRU who were collecting and passing on to the occupiers coordinates for artillery and air strikes on Kramatorsk and Sloviansk.
Earlier,the SBU exposed a Russian agent among the military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine . A fighter from a strike drone company was passing data on the plans of operations of Ukrainian forces to the FSB.
The Security Service of Ukraine also exposed and detained an instructor major from one of the air brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine , who turned out to be an agent of Russian intelligence. The suspect was preparing strikes on Ukrainian airfields where F-16, Mirage 2000 and Su-24 aircraft are based.
As a reminder, the SBU detained two Russian informants who were “leaking” information about the SOU positions near Sloviansk to the occupiers and spying on the echelons of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
