SSU detains Russian agent adjusting airstrikes in Kramatorsk sector

According to Ukrinform, the SSU reported this.

Investigations revealed that the agent conducted reconnaissance near concealed Ukrainian positions. Upon identifying potential targets, he transmitted their coordinates to the Russian forces for airstrikes.

The agent prioritized Ukrainian defensive strongpoints, command centers, and artillery positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The SSU managed to identify and document the suspect’s activities early in his intelligence-gathering operations. At the same time, comprehensive measures were taken to secure Ukrainian defensive positions in the area.

Counterintelligence officers apprehended the enemy accomplice at his residence and seized his mobile phone, which he used to communicate with his Russian handler.

The detained suspect is a 41-year-old employee of an agricultural enterprise from a frontline village in Kramatorsk district of Donetsk region. The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) recruited him in December last year.

Using his personal vehicle, he drove around the area, tracking Ukrainian military locations. He then sent the gathered information to the FSB via text messages and Google Maps screenshots with marked targets.

Investigators have charged the suspect under Part 2, Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (high treason committed under martial law).

The suspect is currently in custody and faces life imprisonment with property confiscation.

As Ukrinform previously reported, two Russian military intelligence agents were recently arrested for coordinating missile and bomb strikes on Kharkiv and its outskirts while posing as animal rescue volunteers.
