The SSU Counterintelligence has detained another two agents of russian military intelligence ('the GRU') in Dnipropetrovsk oblast. They were adjusting russian missile and drone attacks on the Defence Forces and enterprises in this region.
According to the investigation, the agents were scattered across different parts of the region, and their task was to collect and transmit photos and coordinates of targets.
In Dnipro, a 48-year-old employee of a confectionery factory was detained, whom the russians recruited through her acquaintance who is in russian captivity.
The woman subsequently agreed to pass on information to the russian special services on the consequences of enemy air strikes on the city.
With the help of the agent, the occupiers tried to adjust their repeated strikes on Ukraine's leading heavy industry enterprises.
Simultaneously, the asset carried out another order from russia: she disseminated videos prepared by the enemy from her own TikTok page, calling on Ukrainians to lay down their arms before the russians.
In Kryvyi Rih, a 45-year-old former police officer was apprehended for directing the aggressor's attacks on reserve command posts and shelters of the Security and Defence Forces in the city.
It has been documented how he spied near the locations of police and National Guard units participating in combat on the frontline and repelling russian air attacks on the area.
The SSU detained the enemy accomplice and protected the bases of Ukrainian defenders.
The investigation established that the individual came to russia's attention when he posted anti-Ukrainian comments on Telegram channels.
Based on the evidence, SSU investigators notified the detainees of suspicion under Article 111.2 of the CCU (high treason, committed under martial law).
The suspects are in custody without bail and face life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
The activities were carried out by the SSU Offices in Dnipropetrovsk and Ivano-Frankivsk regions under the procedural supervision of Prosecutor's Offices.
