According to the case materials, the attacker was conducting additional reconnaissance near the key energy facilities of the region that supply the regional center and surrounding areas.

The detainee turned out to be a student of a local university recruited by the enemy; she came to the attention of the FSB when she was looking for "easy" earnings in Telegram channels.

"After recruitment, the agent, under the guise of walking, walked around the city and the surrounding area to record the locations of energy facilities on which the russians were preparing an air strike," law enforcement officials said.

In addition, the attacker traveled around the region by taxi and took photos and videos of Ukrainian air defense units.

It is noted that the SSU officers exposed the agent in advance and detained her. During the search, smartphones and computer equipment with evidence of working for the enemy were seized from her.

Investigators of the Security Service informed the detainee of suspicion of treason committed under martial law (Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
