SSU dismantles FSB agent group adjusting enemy fire on Kherson's defenders

Security Service of Ukraine

17:00, 2 September 2025

The Security Service of Ukraine has exposed another agent group of russia's federal security service that was adjusting enemy artillery and drone strikes on the Defence Forces on the right bank of Kherson oblast.

As a result of the operation, a member of the enemy cell has been detained in Kherson. He is a 65-year-old local who was waiting for a complete occupation of the region.

His main task was to locate Ukrainian depots with weapons, ammunition, and equipment.

The enemy's priority targets were also the bases of the Defence Forces and tactical UAV groups performing combat missions on the southern front.

To adjust strikes on these locations, the agent drove around the area in his car and recorded objects that he considered to be military.

During such reconnaissance trips, the traitor also tracked the number and directions of movement of military trains with combat equipment.

To gather additional intelligence, the agent tried to elicit it during casual conversations from acquaintances who were volunteers.

The individual then passed the information to an acquaintance, a woman from Skadovsk district, who began cooperating with the FSB after this area was captured.

She acted as the head agent in the group, remotely searching for and recruiting 'like-minded people' from the right bank of the region.

The SSU neutralized the agent network, documented the crimes, and protected the Defence Forces locations.

Five smartphones were seized from the detained agent during the search; he used these devices to communicate with the group's resident.

SSU investigators notified the perpetrator 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 head of the FSB's agent group, who is hiding on the temporarily occupied left bank of the Kherson region, will also be notified of the charges against her in absentia.

The operational and investigative measures were carried out jointly with the SSU Office in Kherson region and the SSU Military Counterintelligence under the procedural supervision of the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for the Southern Region.
