The SSU Counterintelligence has detained two pro-kremlin agitators who were operating in Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia. They justified russia's war crimes and were waiting for a complete occupation of Ukraine's eastern and southern regions.
The perpetrators spread anti-Ukrainian posts in specialized Telegram channel groups.
In Zaporizhzhia, a 60-year-old owner of a local law firm was detained for calling on the occupiers online to kill Ukrainians en masse and seize new territories of our state.
During his arrest, the suspect tried to hide under a bed in his home.
Another enemy agitator was uncovered in Kharkiv. He turned out to be a 54-year-old employee of a city printing company who publicly praised russian occupation forces and was waiting for the occupation of the frontline city.
It was established that he published such posts in the enemy chat bot of Sergei Lebedev (known as 'Lokhmatyi'), who is hiding in Donetsk and works for the russian special services.
A linguistic examination initiated by the SSU confirmed the facts of information and subversive activities by the agitators against Ukraine.
Smartphones and computer equipment with evidence of the crime were seized during searches.
SSU investigators notified the detainees of suspicion under two Articles of the CCU:
- 110.1, 110.2 (encroachment on the territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine);
- 436-2.2, 436-2.3 (justification, recognition as lawful, denial of russia's armed aggression against Ukraine, glorification of its participants).
The suspects are in custody and face up to 10 years in prison with confiscation of property.
The activities were carried out by the SSU Offices in Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv regions under the procedural supervision of the regional Prosecutor's Offices.
