Russian Agent Detained near Kryvyi Rih
Ukrainian Security Service detained a Russian agent who was trying to identify military airfields and locations of Ukrainian anti-aircraft defense near Kryvyi Rih.
According to the SBU press center, she was also monitoring the flight routes of the Ukrainian Air Force combat aviation.
It is noted that in case of identifying these objects, the woman was supposed to mark the locations on electronic maps and inform the FSB. According to the special services, the intelligence information obtained by Russia was planned to be used to prepare strikes on targets using missiles and «Shahids».
However, the Russian agent was successfully exposed and detained in a timely manner. She turned out to be a local resident, an ideological supporter of Russian chauvinism. In October 2023, the woman came under the scrutiny of the FSB through her friend — a participant in the espionage network, who is currently in custody.
«To monitor the combat aviation and air defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the traitor went out to the field. She also tried to identify and secretly mark military infrastructure. She maintained communication in a messenger with an FSB staff member. His identity has already been established,» the report said.
