Quote: "In Donetsk Oblast, two Russian agents provided occupiers with location of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including the location of combat positions of multiple-launch rocket systems HIMARS.
Informants were recruited by members of the FSB [Russian Federal Security Service] after the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. They were chosen by the Russian security service due to their pro-Kremlin position, which they have publicly demonstrated repeatedly".
Details: The Security Service of Ukraine detained both agents in Pokrovsk as they were trying to hand over the intelligence data to the Russians.
Another associate of the occupiers was busted in Dnipro. He was an inmate in one of the correctional facilities of the Russian secret services and was recruited because of his connections in criminal circles.
The inmate established connection with his accomplices outside prison, using his hidden cell phone. The accomplices sent him the geolocation of Ukrainian checkpoints, which he, in turn, handed over to the occupiers.
The suspects were accused of violating Article 114-2, part 2 (unauthorised spreading of information about transferring armaments and ammunition to Ukraine, movements, relocation or deployment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
The culprits will most likely be placed in pre-trial custody.
