Since war began, SSU detained over 50 russian agents who posed as civil society activists to call for coup d’etat in Ukraine

Since the start of the full-scale war, the Security Service and the National Police have apprehended more than 50 agents of the russian intelligence services who posed as ‘civil society activists’ and tried to undermine the socio-political situation in Ukraine.

They created dozens of informal associations and movements in our country and positioned themselves as supporters of ‘people’s power’.

The ‘activists’ publicly called for a forceful seizure of state power in Ukraine in order to support russia’s armed aggression from the inside.

Due to the SSU’s efforts, over 30 of them have been served suspicion notices for crimes against national security.

Another 14 of them have been sentenced to real terms of imprisonment and are now serving their sentences.

In Dnipropetrovsk region:

Subversive activities of the head of a pro-kremlin cell and eight of his accomplices have been neutralized.

During underground ‘conventions’, the members of the ‘organization’ called for a coup d’état in Kyiv and discredited Ukraine’s Defense Forces.

In Zaporizhzhia:

Five bloggers of the fake ‘people’s power’ have been exposed. On orders from russia, they spread disinformation about the activity of Territorial Recruitment Centers, which are responsible for mobilization.

The perpetrators used their Telegram and YouTube channels to conduct information subversion, throwing in massive amount of fakes about Ukrainian servicemen.

In Khmelnytskyi:

Two enemy accomplices who organized video conferences with russian propagandists and ruscist ideologues have been convicted.

During such online communication, they called for a seizure of power in Kyiv with subsequent ‘accession’ of Ukraine to russia.

In Lviv region:

Another two supporters of the kremlin regime have been exposed. They publicly praised putin and russian occupation troops.

Investigations into dozens of exposed facts are ongoing to bring the involved to justice for crimes against Ukraine.

The operations and investigations were carried out under the procedural supervision of the Prosecutor’s Office.
