The security service detained 7 Russian agents who were pointing enemy missiles at Dnipro.
This was announced by the head of the Security Service of Ukraine Vasyl Maliuk, informed by Censor.NET with reference to the SSU Telegram channel.
"The SSU conducted another important special operation to expose and detain enemy agents. This is the result of the painstaking work of our counter-intelligence officers. We systematically train everyone who helps direct Russian missiles at our cities. Every gunner or adjuster must realize that his actions will not go unpunished. Security Service and the entire Ukrainian people will not forgive such crimes. The agents of the Russian Federation will have to fully answer for what they have done," Maliuk emphasized.
Russian agents collected the coordinates of critical infrastructure facilities, including energy-generating enterprises. Then all the information was passed on to the Russians.
"The occupiers used this information to prepare and carry out rocket attacks on the city. And after the attacks, the agents visited the "arrivals" places to establish the consequences of the air attacks and re-adjust them.
Information about the possible involvement of the detainees in the Russian missile attack on a residential building in Dnipro on January 14 of this year is currently being checked," the SSU reported.
Also, Russian agents collected intelligence on the basing and movement of units of the Defense Forces in the region, trying to identify the positions of the Ukrainian air defense system.
They passed all the collected information to the representatives of the game through the resident of the group. He turned out to be a citizen of the Russian Federation, a former resident of Dnipro, who in 2014 created a local pro-Kremlin public organization. Its representatives advocated the creation of the so-called "south-eastern Ukrainian republic" under the control of the aggressor country.
Later, the perpetrator fled to Russia, where he was recruited by the game's HR staff. According to their task, he created his own agency from his "ideological" like-minded compatriots.
Previously, the group was in "standby mode", and in October 2022 it began active reconnaissance and subversive activities against Ukraine.
For communication, agents used anonymous messengers, and locations were transmitted in the form of electronic coordinates with photo materials.
During searches of the residences of the detainees, law enforcement officers found improvised explosive devices, computer equipment, and mobile phones with evidence of conspiratorial correspondence with the enemy, and pro-Kremlin literature.
On the basis of the evidence collected by the investigators of the Security Service, the persons involved were notified of the suspicion under Part 2 of Art. 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (treason committed under martial law).
