Based on evidence collected by the Security Service, another enemy agent, who operated in Zaporizhzhia, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property. On orders of russia's federal security service, he was preparing a repeat attack by russia on the Dnipro Hydroelectric Power Plant.
To this end, the perpetrator recorded the consequences of enemy strikes after the ruscists' combined attack on the energy infrastructure in March 2024.
He paid particular attention to the damaged facilities of the Dnipro HPP, which he photographed and sent to his handler along with their coordinates.
The occupiers planned to use this intelligence to prepare further attacks on Ukraine's energy sector, including the local HPP.
The SSU Counterintelligence detained the enemy's accomplice last summer.
According to the investigation, the agent was a local unemployed man who came to the FSB's attention because of his anti-Ukrainian statements on social media.
An FSB employee contacted him via messenger and offered him money in exchange for cooperation. After receiving the instructions, the asset first reconnoitered the locations of the Defence Forces in Zaporizhzhia and its suburbs.
He was then tasked with conducting further reconnaissance near the city's energy facilities that had been attacked by the russians.
During the search, the investigators seized a smartphone that contained the traitor's texting with the FSB, spy photos and videos of the facilities.
Based on the evidence, the court found the accused guilty under Article 111.2 of the CCU (high treason, committed under martial law).
The investigation was carried out by the SSU Offices in Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and Luhansk regions under the procedural supervision of Zaporizhzhia Region Prosecutor's Office.
