SBU exposes double agent among drone operators
The SBU military counterintelligence, together with the command of the Armed Forces, detained a serviceman of the Unmanned Systems Forces who worked simultaneously for the FSB of the Russian Federation and Belarusian intelligence.
This was reported by the press service of the SBU.
The investigation revealed that while working as a UAV operator, he was “leaking” data to the enemy about the directions, types, and number of Ukrainian drones on the northeastern border. Later, the agent was transferred to the position of operator of ground robotic complexes that evacuate the wounded and deliver ammunition in the Izyum direction, but instead of performing official tasks, he collected information about the deployment and plans of the Armed Forces of Ukraine units.
“He was accumulating information for the enemy about the tactical and technical characteristics and features of the use of the latest robotic complexes of the Defense Forces,” the SBU reported.
The agent planned to flee to Russia across the front line, where he was to be met by Russian special services. However, counterintelligence documented his activities and detained him in the Kharkiv region. During the searches, two smartphones with evidence of work for the Russian and Belarusian special services were seized.
SBU investigators informed the detainee of suspicion of high treason in wartime (Part 2, Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). The agent is being held without bail and faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
According to the department, comprehensive measures were carried out jointly with the SBU units in the Sumy region under the procedural guidance of the Sumy Specialized Prosecutor’s Office in the field of defense of the Central Region.
As a reminder, counterintelligence of the Security Service in the Donetsk region detained a person who corrected the Russian air attacks . He turned out to be a former head of a workshop at a local machine-building plant recruited by the enemy.
As reported, the Security Service of Ukraine prevented a new attempted terrorist attack in Rivne. An agent of the Russian special services was caught red-handed when he planted a homemade bomb near a cafe in the central park .
