The security service detained a Russian agent who was trying to get a job at the Department of Defense Work of the Sumy OVA, the SBU reported. The traitor turned out to be a resident of Sumy, who was recruited by the FSB of the Russian Federation at the beginning of a full-scale invasion.

“In the event of successful penetration into the ranks of a state institution, he had to covertly collect secret information about the region’s defense system in the face of armed aggression by the Russian Federation. He planned to transfer the received information to the enemy through closed channels of electronic communication using pre-worked out conventional symbols, ”the SBU explained..

Ukrainian special service detained a traitor near the OVA building and documented his criminal actions. It is indicated that the enemy agent agreed to cooperate with the aggressor because he has pro-Kremlin convictions. In addition, he was promised to pay.

In addition to trying to penetrate the Sumy OVA, the traitor, on the instructions of the FSB, reconnoitered the places of deployment and movement of the Defense Forces in the region. He also collected personal data of local law enforcement officers and families..

In order to protect the Russian agent from exposure as much as possible, the occupiers paid for his services with cryptocurrency. During a search at the place of residence of the defendant, the SBU officers found a Russian passport, mobile phones and computer equipment with evidence of reconnaissance and explosive activities,” the SBU added..

The enemy agent was informed of the suspicion. 2 st. 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (state treason committed under martial law).

The court has already sent him into custody.
