The security service exposed another agent of the Russian special services, who corrected Russian air strikes on the civilian infrastructure of Kharkov.
The traitor launched missile attacks on residential buildings, the SBU press service reported on February 21. She faces life imprisonment.
“The defendant is a 34-year-old woman from Kharkov, whom the aggressor remotely recruited for cooperation earlier this year. Following her tip, on January 23 at about 10:00 p.m., the Russians fired S-300 and X-22 missiles at the Kiev and Kholodnogorsk districts of Kharkov. Then, as a result of an enemy attack, private houses, an educational institution and a postal enterprise were damaged. Due to the destruction, 16 civilians, including two children, had to be evicted. Nine residents of the regional center were seriously injured,” the department reports.
After an enemy attack, a Russian agent was supposed to arrive at the “arrival” site to collect information about damaged infrastructure and injured persons.
SBU officers caught the attacker red-handed when she was conducting additional reconnaissance near houses that were shelled by Russian troops. The detainee's phone was confiscated, which she used for covert photographic recording and communication with the occupiers.
For communication we used anonymous chats in the messenger. After the first communication sessions with the occupiers, the woman received an advance from them for further reconnaissance and subversive activities against Ukraine. The attacker transmitted to the invaders the coordinates of the most densely populated areas of the city, and also sent geolocations of buildings that, in her opinion, could be used by the Defense Forces. In addition, she collected intelligence information about the routes of movement of Ukrainian Armed Forces units in the direction of the Eastern Front.
To collect information, the traitor walked around the city on foot and recorded Ukrainian objects with her phone camera. To ensure confidential communication with the aggressor, the defendant daily deleted the reports that she sent to the Russian Federation.
