The Russians have "brought their man back into the fold."
Counterintelligence officers from the Security Service of Ukraine exposed and detained a Russian agent in Kyiv who was involved in planning a new missile and drone strike against Ukrainian Armed Forces units and civilian infrastructure in Kyiv.
This was reported by the SBU press service.
According to the pre-trial investigation, Russian intelligence services persuaded the suspect to cooperate even before 2022, when he traveled to Russia. He was “put on hold,” and recently a representative of the Russian intelligence services contacted him.
The agent photographed the locations of Ukrainian Armed Forces units and civilian infrastructure facilities in Kyiv, and then passed the data and coordinates to the enemy. He also planned to report the geolocation of gas stations and postal terminals in the capital.
During his reconnaissance missions, the Russian agent took his live-in partner with him, pretending they were simply out for a walk. The woman, however, was unaware of her partner’s subversive activities. The Russian agent was caught red-handed. He has already been notified that he is suspected of treason.
