an FSB agent was detained, who was looking for “weak spots” in the defensive line in the border areas of the Chernigov region.
This was reported by the press service of the SBU.
Counterintelligence of the Security Service thwarted Russia's attempt to obtain the coordinates of the Defense Forces in the border areas of the Chernihiv region.
“As a result of a special operation, an FSB agent was detained who was monitoring the location of fortified areas and strongholds ensuring the defense of the northern borders of Ukraine,” the department said.
The traitor also tried to identify the approximate locations of Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile systems. To collect intelligence data, the person involved rode around the area on a bicycle and secretly photographed the locations of the defense forces.
He had to transmit the information received to the occupiers through a messenger in the form of media files linked to the location.
“The SBU employees worked proactively – they detained the Russian agent in advance and thereby prevented the transfer of intelligence information to the aggressor “, -¦added to the SBU.
According to the investigation, a local utility worker was detained, who was remotely recruited by an employee of the border department of the FSB of the Russian Federation in the Bryansk region. His identity has already been established by the Security Service.
In 2023, law enforcement became interested in the suspect because of his anti-Ukrainian messages on Russian Telegram channels. Over time, the Russian special services attracted the traitor to intelligence and subversive activities in favor of the FSB. =”https://baltimorechronicle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/06b5db2abf95474e7d8441af58c1e5dc.jpg” alt=”The SBU detained an FSB agent who was looking for “weak points” in the defense line”
