The SSU Military Counterintelligence has detained another agent of russia's federal security service in Donetsk oblast. The perpetrator helped ruscists plan new offensive operations against the Defence Forces positions near Kostiantynivka.
The agent's main task was to collect and transmit the coordinates of Ukrainian troops, who are holding back numerous attacks by the occupiers and launching counterattacks against them.
After receiving the geolocations, the enemy planned to attack Ukrainian defenders with the drones of russia's rubicon UAV unit. The adversary planned to create 'corridors' for the breakthrough assault groups in the direction of the city.
The enemy accomplice turned out to be a 39-year-old engineer-technologist at a local enterprise who was looking to approach russian special services on Telegram channels.
Following the occupiers' instructions, the asset walked in the frontline area and tracked the locations of Ukrainian defenders, marking the sites on Google Maps.
The enemy's potential targets included long-range artillery batteries of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and reserve command posts of the National Guard's advanced units.
For secrecy, the traitor had three smartphones, which he used separately to record coordinates and contact his handler in an anonymous chat.
The SSU Military Counterintelligence detained the mole and took action to protect the positions of the Defence Forces.
SSU investigators notified the detainee of suspicion under Article 111.2 of the CCU (high treason, committed under martial law).
The suspect is in custody without bail and faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
The operation was carried out by the SSU Office in Donetsk and Luhansk regions under the procedural supervision of Donetsk Region Prosecutor's Office.
