The Security Service of Ukraine's military counterintelligence detained another russian agent who was spying on the combat aircraft of the Armed Forces in the west of Ukraine. This is reported in the SSU statement.
According to the investigation, the enemy's tasks were carried out by a 20-year-old resident of the Khmelnytskyi Region, who came to the attention of russians when he was looking for "easy money" on Telegram channels.
The main task of the attacker was to track the locations, number and flight schedules of Ukrainian combat aircraft. To do this, an agent of the russian aggressor country installed hidden minicams near air bases with online broadcasting and remote access for russian special services. In this way, the occupiers hoped to record the presence and types of aircraft at Ukrainian airfields in real time.
Security Service of Ukraine officers caught the agent red-handed when he was setting up photo traps near one of the military facilities.
During the searches, a smartphone with evidence of working for the enemy was seized from the detainee.
The offender is in custody. He faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, an FSB agent was detained in Kharkiv who was going to install a tripwire with an F-1 grenade in a park.
