In Kharkiv, the SSU has apprehended another agent of russia’s federal security service. He was spying on the locations of the Defence Forces fighting for the frontline city of Vovchansk.

The investigation revealed that the enemy accomplice was a 21-year-old local resident. The FSB recruited him through Telegram channels, where he wrote comments in support of russia’s war against Ukraine and expressed a desire to go to his relatives in russia.

The enemy promised to extract the asset to russia after he carries out their tasks.

The traitor tried to identify combat positions of Ukrainian artillery, which fires at the occupiers’ assault groups. He did this under the pretext of trips to his dacha near the frontline.

The agent was actually looking for traces of tank tracks and wheeled armoured vehicles of Ukrainian troops moving towards the front.

Returning from a countryside ‘trip’ to Kharkiv, the man recorded the locations of air defence missile systems protecting the airspace over the city.

The SSU documented the perpetrator’s crimes and detained him red-handed when he was conducting reconnaissance near Kharkiv.

A mobile phone with evidence of his work for the FSB was seized.

SSU investigators notified the detainee of suspicion under Article 111.2 of the CCU (high treason, committed under martial law).

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

The operation was carried out by the SSU Office in Kharkiv region under the procedural supervision of the regional Prosecutor’s Office.
