Counterintelligence officers and investigators from the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) prevented one of the most secretive FSB agents in Dnipropetrovsk from fleeing Ukraine. The individual turned out to be a well-known local lawyer who had been correcting Russian missile strikes on the regional center.
The SSU detained the suspect while attempting to flee the country at the Krakivets border checkpoint, where he tried to cross into another country.
It was documented that the traitor had corrected a missile strike on a local company that modernizes and restores strike and reconnaissance drones. The agent did not just provide general coordinates of the enterprise but gave precise locations of technological workshops and UAV storage warehouses.
Later, Russian forces struck based on the provided coordinates, resulting in six deaths and 30 serious injuries. The attack also damaged civilian infrastructure.
The traitor reported the results of the strike to his Russian handlers and later sent coordinates for another strategic target in Dnipro for further missile attacks.
The investigation revealed that the agent communicated with his Russian curator through a "contact person," a longtime acquaintance of the suspect who works for the FSB as the so-called "First Deputy Head of the Krasnohvardiysk District Administration in Crimea."
SSU counterintelligence and investigators documented the Russian agent's crimes and arrested him during his attempt to escape.
During searches of his home and office, mobile phones and SIM cards containing evidence of his subversive activities in favor of Russia were seized.
The suspect has been remanded in custody, and he faces life imprisonment with asset confiscation.
