The SBU exposed the "mole" of the FSB in the ranks of the Ukrainian paratroopers, who were preparing the assassination of the brigade commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Military counterintelligence of the security service together with the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and with the assistance of the commander of the armed forces of Ukraine prevented the assassination of the commander of one of the brigades of the airborne assault troops of the armed forces of Ukraine.
According to the results of preventive actions, a recruit was detained in Mykolaiv, who prepared an attempt to become a major general under the orders of the FSB.
As emerged from the investigation, the suspect was supposed to launch an enemy missile attack on the headquarters of the combat unit, where the lieutenant general was located, in real time.
SBU employees worked ahead of time - they secured the location of Ukrainian paratroopers in advance and stopped the "mole" on the territory of the unit.
At the time of his arrest, the Russian agent was preparing to hand over to his FSB supervisor the coordinates of the military facility where the DS brigade commander was supposed to be.
At the scene of the incident, the criminal was found with a smartphone containing "reports" to a Russian intelligence officer about preparations to kill an AMN combat officer.
According to the case materials, the recruit came to the notice of the rascals when he was looking for close contacts on Telegram channels for the purpose of dating.
After the recruitment, the agent was in direct contact with the FSB employee through an anonymous chat on Messenger.
At the behest of a Russian intelligence officer, the suspect, using a driver's position, began to collect data on the whereabouts of the brigade command.
In addition, he "leaked" information to the enemy about the storage and launch points of attack drones of the armed forces behind the backs of the armed groups of the attacking country.
Security Service investigators informed the agent of the suspicion according to Part 2 of A. 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (treason committed under martial law).
The offender is in custody without bail. He faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
Comprehensive measures were carried out jointly with SBU investigators in the Mykolaiv region under the procedural guidance of the Mykolaiv special prosecutor's office in the field of defense of the southern region.
