Military counterintelligence of the Security Service, with the assistance of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, detained a Russian "double" agent in the Lviv region, who simultaneously worked for the FSB and Russian military intelligence (better known as the GRU).
Points of attention
- A Russian double agent, working for both the FSB and Russian military intelligence (GRU), was detained in Ukraine for planning a terrorist attack against the commanders of the Armed Forces.
- The agent had received “carte blanche” from the Russian GRU to choose the method of eliminating the Ukrainian military, including using improvised explosive devices, disguised explosives, and rocket strikes.
- The Security Service of Ukraine uncovered the hostile intentions in advance and detained the traitor while he was preparing liquidation proposals for his supervisor, leading to legal action under charges of high treason.
A Russian "double" agent was preparing a terrorist attack at the Yavoriv training ground
According to the case materials, the enemy accomplice turned out to be an instructor at the Yavoriv training ground.
His task from the Russian GRU was to prepare terrorist attacks against the commanders of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who, together with their units, were undergoing combat training at the local Defense Forces training center.
It is documented that the agent received "carte blanche" from the curator to choose the method of eliminating the Ukrainian military.
Thus, according to one of the "scenarios", the traitor was supposed to make an improvised explosive device (IED) and then secretly plant it in the headquarters or training building.
The agent was also developing a plan to use his colleague's "secret" information to bring disguised explosives to the commanders' training location.
Another method of assassination that the "mole" considered was a rocket strike by the Russians at the coordinates of the current concentration of Ukrainian defenders at the training ground.
The SBU military counterintelligence uncovered hostile intentions in advance, documented them, and detained the traitor while he was preparing liquidation proposals for his supervisor.
The investigation also established contacts between the traitor and a supervisor from the FSB. On his instructions, the agent collected information about the number and specifics of units training at the Yavoriv training ground.
During the searches, 3 phones with SIM cards were seized from the detainee, which he used to hide his contacts with the occupiers.
Based on the evidence collected, investigators of the Security Service informed him of suspicion under Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (high treason committed under martial law).
The perpetrator is being held without bail. He faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
