The Security Service detained another Russian military intelligence agent in the Kyiv region. The perpetrator was preparing new missile attacks by Russian forces on thermal power plants in the capital region of Ukraine.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to the SSU press centre.
How did the Russian special services operate?
According to SSU cyber experts, the suspect was initially tasked by the occupiers with secretly bypassing the perimeter of one of the thermal power plants to monitor its technical condition after the previous shelling.
During the sortie, he had to "report" to the occupiers in real time about everything he saw on the territory of the energy facility, with photographic evidence of technological structures and equipment.
Security Service officers caught the agent red-handed while he was conducting reconnaissance near a potential "target." At the scene, they seized his smartphone, which he had used to photograph the external condition of the thermal power plant.
What is known about the traitor?
The investigation established that the order from the Russian Federation was carried out by a 26-year-old resident of the Fastiv district, who had previously served a sentence for the murder of a minor girl.
The repeat offender came to the attention of Russian special services on a Telegram channel searching for "easy money".
"In exchange for the promise of quick money, he agreed to coordinate Russian air strikes on the energy infrastructure of the Kyiv region in order to cut off electricity and heat supply to most of the region," the statement said.
Consequences for the traitor
During a search of the detainee's smartphone, an anonymous chat with a curator from the gru was found, with whom he communicated in "disappearing" messages.
Investigators from the Security Service informed the agent that he was suspected of violating Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (high treason committed under martial law).
The perpetrator is in custody without the right to bail. He faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
