The SSU Counterintelligence has dismantled another agent network of russia’s federal security service in Donetsk region. The cell consisted of four residents of Kostiantynivka, who adjusted russian missile and bomb strikes on the city.

All the agents acted separately, but had one common handler from the FSB. Their main task was to collect the coordinates at which the units of the Defense Forces were located.

One of russia’s assets is a 35-year-old IT specialist who, under the cover of setting up the Internet, was asking clients about the locations of Ukrainian troops.

Three other perpetrators are a 23-year-old loader from the local market and two unemployed people who walked around the city and recorded target locations for the enemy.

All the agents were recruited through Telegram channels offering ‘easy money’.

To collect intelligence, the traitors marked potential targets on Google maps and added detailed descriptions.

The SSU uncovered the group and detained all its members.

Mobile phones with evidence of their work for the FSB were seized from the detainees.

SSU investigators served them a notice of suspicion under Article 111.2 of the CCU (high treason, committed under martial law).

The suspects are in custody without bail and face life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
