The security service detained two more agents of the Russian Federation during counter-subversive measures in the front-line areas of the Donetsk region.
The perpetrators gathered intelligence about the locations and routes of movement of units of the Defense Forces in the region.
In addition, they gave the aggressor the locations of social facilities, including general educational institutions in Slovyansk.
The occupiers planned to use the received information to launch targeted missile strikes on the Ukrainian city.
However, the SSU employees worked ahead of time and detained both Russian agents trying to pass intelligence information to the occupiers.
According to the investigation, the enemy accomplices turned out to be two local residents who worked for the "People's Militia DNR" under the control of the special services of the Russian Federation.
Communication was maintained through anonymous messengers, and a specially created chatbot was used to transmit closed data.
It was there that the attackers posted information about the movement of military equipment of the Armed Forces, as well as the geolocation of Ukrainian schools. They supplemented their "reports" with photographs and a detailed description of the surrounding area.
For the conspiracy, one of the informants named his account with a female name.
During the searches of the places of residence of both criminals, law enforcement officers found mobile phones and laptops with evidence of subversive activities.
Measures to expose the perpetrators were carried out by SSU employees of Donetsk and Luhansk regions under the procedural guidance of the prosecutor's office.
