The Security Service’s military counter-intelligence unit has detained another FSB spotter in the Kyiv region.
This was reported by Censor.NET, citing the SSU press centre.
Coordinated the attack on 24 May 2026
It has been established that she was involved in one of the largest Russian attacks on the Ukrainian capital, which took place on 24 May 2026. Furthermore, following this shelling, she was preparing new Russian strikes on Kyiv.
As the investigation revealed, an unemployed resident of Chornomorsk in the Odesa region, who had been recruited by the enemy, was responsible for guiding Russian drones and missiles.
To carry out her espionage mission, the woman arrived at a hotel complex on the coast of the Kyivskyi Sea under the pretext of a holiday.
There, she settled into a room overlooking the reservoir and installed a phone camera in the window with remote access for the FSB.
In this way, Russian intelligence officers hoped to track the locations and combat operations of Ukrainian air defence forces online during a Russian attack.
According to the case file, should the coordinates of the Defence Forces’ anti-aircraft missile systems and mobile fire groups be identified, the ruscists planned to carry out combined strikes against them.
After the night-time shelling of the city on 24 May, the agent ‘lay low’, but later received a new task to coordinate further shelling of the Ukrainian capital.
Arrest and suspicion
- SSU officers arrested her "red-handed" as she was setting up a new "observation post" in a hotel room near Kyivskyi Sea.
- It has been established that the Russian special services recruited the suspect via a Telegram channel advertising "easy money".
- During searches, two smartphones, a laptop and rough notes containing evidence of her work for the enemy were seized from the detainee.
- Investigators from the Security Service informed her that she was suspected of an offence under Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (high treason committed under martial law).
- The suspect is currently in custody. She faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
