A new technology of Russian special services was exposed in Kharkiv. Minors were involved in so-called "quest games".
This was reported by the press service of the SSU, Censor.NET reports.
Two of the undercover groups consisted of children aged 15 and 16.
"The minors performed enemy reconnaissance tasks, adjusting strikes and setting fires. To disguise their subversive activities, the two enemy cells operated separately.
According to the 'rules of the quest game', the children received geolocations from the FSB, after which their task was to get to the point, take photos and videos of the desired object, and provide a brief description of the area," the statement said.
The intelligence was sent by the agent group to their joint FSB supervisor via anonymous chats.
The racists used this data to carry out attacks on Kharkiv.
All members of the enemy groups were detained by the SSU when they were taking pictures of Ukrainian air defense facilities protecting the city.
"The investigation also uncovered another task of Russian agents - the arson of transformers that ensure the movement of the Armed Forces echelons towards the eastern front," the SSU said.
The organizer of one of the hostile groups was served a notice of suspicion under Part 2 of Article 113 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (sabotage committed under martial law). He is in custody. He faces life imprisonment.
Comprehensive measures are currently underway to bring other members of the network to justice.
The SBU also identified the "liaison" of the FSB agent groups. He was a police officer in the Krasnodar region of Russia, who cooperated with the Russian special service.
He is being served with a notice of suspicion in absentia under Part 2 of Article 113 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (sabotage committed under martial law).
