SSU operatives identified the whereabouts of the Russian informant and apprehended her in her own residence in one of the villages near Zaporizhzhia.
As the investigation revealed, the suspect had supported the criminal actions of Russian occupiers since the beginning of the full-scale invasion and hoped for the capture of the entire southern region of Ukraine. She repeatedly shared this information with her acquaintances in Moscow during phone conversations. Later, the suspect began tracking the locations of the concentration of personnel and military equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces within the community. She transmitted the obtained information via messenger to her acquaintances in Russia, who then reported it to the representatives of Russian special services. During searches at the place of residence of the detainee, a mobile phone was found, which she used to transmit classified information.
