Based on the evidence collected by the SSU, a member of an agent group of russia’s federal security service who directed russian missile strikes on Kharkiv defenders’ bases has been convicted to prison.

The SSU detained the woman and her two accomplices in 2023. Following the Service’s investigations, two other agents have already been sentenced to prison terms.

Given her cooperation with the investigation, the court has now sentenced the third member to 10 years in prison.

The perpetrator is a 45-year-old resident of Kharkiv, remotely recruited by the FSB at the onset of the full-scale war.

To identify coordinates of potential targets, she travelled around the city and recorded the places where the Defence Forces personnel and military equipment were concentrated.

During her reconnaissance sorties, the traitor took photos of the perimeters of military facilities and marked their geolocations on Google maps.

She used a messenger app to transmit the intelligence to the FSB through a ‘liaison’ – her former partner who left for russia in 2017 and later joined the russian PMC Wagner.

During the search, the SSU seized the suspect’s mobile phone and computer equipment with evidence of her work for the occupiers.

Based on the evidence, the court found the accused guilty under Article 114-2.3 of the CCU (unauthorized dissemination of information about the Armed Forces of Ukraine, committed with the aim of providing such information to a state that carries out armed aggression against Ukraine).

The efforts to identify and punish the informant’s ‘liaison’ are ongoing.

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