Details: Since the beginning of the full-scale aggression by the Russian Federation, the Ukrainian special service has exposed more than 360 Russian agents and more than 5,000 collaborators. 

Among the last detainees was an employee of one of the defence enterprises in Kyiv, whom the SBU counter-intelligence service, with the assistance of the Ukroboronprom security unit, caught campaigning in favour of the Russian Federation.

According to Dekhtiarenko, an employee of the Ukroboronprom conglomerate publicly justified the war crimes of the invaders and called on colleagues to support the enemy army. The official repeatedly asked the President of the Russian Federation to grant him Russian citizenship.

During searches at the agitator's place of residence, law enforcement officers found electronic media with pro-Kremlin propaganda, as well as design documentation on aircraft construction.

Now the perpetrator has been informed of suspicion. Measures are underway in order to establish all the circumstances of his subversive activities.

Also, according to the materials of the SBU, a Russian citizen who called on Kyiv residents to cooperate with the enemy was sentenced to 5 years in prison. The perpetrator lived in Kyiv using forged documents and coordinated his actions with one of the ideologists close to the Kremlin.

During a special operation in the Donetsk region, the Russian agent network that scouted the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Eastern Front was eliminated. One agent was detained in Sloviansk, the other in Kramatorsk district.

In the Luhansk region, according to the SBU materials, two commanders of the so-called Luhansk People's Republic, who were captured near Sievierodonetsk, were sentenced to 8 and 10 years in prison.

In Kharkiv, SBU officers exposed two former members of illegal armed groups of Certain Areas of Donetsk and Luhansk Regions (CADLR).
