The Security Service of Ukraine has detained another seven pro-kremlin agitators. They justified russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine, called for massive strikes on Ukrainian cities and the complete occupation of our state.

In Kyiv, the SSU cyber units exposed a 28-year-old resident of the capital who evaded mobilisation and incited people to seize state authorities. He used anonymous pages on Instagram and Threads to spread illegal calls.

The SSU detained the perpetrator at his parents’ house in Sumy region, where he had fled from the capital to hide.

Another individual resorting to information subversion was uncovered in Zhytomyr region. He turned out to be a 60-year-old supporter of ruscism who on Telegram called for the genocide of the Ukrainian people and was waiting for a full occupation of our state.

It has been documented how the agitator, in his comments, urged russia to destroy Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities with massive air strikes.

In Vinnytsia region, organizers of an underground cell of fake ‘people’s power’ were apprehended. They turned out to be two local men and a woman who created a Telegram channel, where they called for the overthrow of the constitutional order in Ukraine and the seizure of state institutions.

The group also published a makeshift newspaper with enemy propaganda in a clandestine printing house, distributing it throughout Ukraine.
