Details: The Special Service reports that two migrants from eastern Ukraine, who were recruited by the representative of the so-called "Ministry of  State Security of Donetsk People’s Republic", Dmytri  Zipir, were searching for combat positions of S-300 air defence systems and storage points of missile and artillery weapons of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

They also tried to identify the locations of the HIMARS missile systems and the M777 long-range howitzers.

For the destruction of foreign and Ukrainian weapons, the Russian curators promised their henchmen 20,000 dollars.

It is stated that the officers of the Security Service of Ukraine prevented sabotage by exposing, documenting and stopping the criminal actions of the members of the invaders' intelligence network in Kremenchuk.

Zipir, who is currently in the temporarily occupied city of Donetsk, has been charged with organising sabotage.

According to the investigation, he remotely coordinated the actions of his agents on the territory of Poltava Oblast and reported their results to FSB personnel.

The Security Service of Ukraine released a video of Zipir's communication with his agents.

The special service assures that they know his location and are taking comprehensive measures to bring the perpetrator to justice.
