The Security Service's counterintelligence unit detained another Russian informant in Donetsk Oblast. He turned out to be a 33-year-old employee of the regional branch of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia".

This was reported by the Security Service of Ukraine, according to Censor.NET.

Details of the investigation

The investigation established that the suspect tracked the location of heavy equipment belonging to the Defence Forces for the enemy, which, according to available information, the occupiers were using to prepare missile and bomb strikes.

To find the coordinates of military facilities, the perpetrator walked around the frontline community during his free time and tracked the locations of Ukrainian troops and equipment.

He stored the information he gathered on his smartphone and passed it on to an acquaintance who was a "liaison" with Russian special services.

SSU officers exposed the informant, documented his activities and detained him at his place of residence.

The Security Service also took measures to secure the locations of the Defence Forces in the area of enemy reconnaissance activity in the Kramatorsk direction.

During searches, a mobile phone with evidence of working for the enemy was seized from the detainee.

Investigators from the Security Service have informed the informant that he is suspected of unauthorised dissemination of information about the movement, relocation or deployment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, committed under martial law.
