SSU detains FSB agent in Odesa: she prepared missile attack on Ukrainian marine base and hoped to flee to russia

In Odesa, the SSU Military Counterintelligence has apprehended another agent of russia’s federal security service. The woman was preparing coordinates for new russian missile and drone strikes on the city and, to evade justice, planned to escape to russia.

On enemy instructions, the perpetrator was to adjust an air attack on the bases of Ukrainian marines.

The occupiers also hoped to obtain coordinates of temporary locations of Ukrainian border guards and police officers performing missions on the southern front.

As the investigation revealed, the spotter is a 39-year-old local unemployed woman who wanted Odesa to be occupied. She wrote about this in comments under pro-kremlin publications on Telegram.

There, she came to the FSB’s attention and, after being recruited remotely, began collecting geolocations of Ukraine’s Defense Forces for ruscists.

To conceal her reconnaissance activity, the agent went for walks with her 6-year-old son, took pictures of potential targets and marked their coordinates on Google maps.

After the ‘walks’ with the child, she prepared the intelligence and was to transmit it to her russian handler.

For carrying out the enemy tasks, the russian service promised her extraction to russia through third countries with further employment in the aggressor state.

The SSU Military Counterintelligence disrupted the plans of the traitor and her russian handlers. She was identified at an early stage of her reconnaissance ‘work, her activity was documented, and she was detained.

Her phone and tablet with anonymous chats in a messenger app, used to communicate with the FSB, were seized during searches.

SSU investigators served the detainee a notice 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 under the procedural supervision of Odesa Region Prosecutor’s Office.
