The SSU arrested pro-Kremlin agitators

Henchmen of the aggressor praised the occupation groups of the Russian Federation, justified their war crimes and called for the capture of the entire territory of Ukraine.
In Odesa, according to SSU materials, a supporter of racism, who was in constant contact with Colonel-General Igor Ilyash, deputy director of the Russian Guard, was sentenced to six years in prison.
As the investigation established, the convict had been friends with him since he was young, when they lived together in Odesa. During phone conversations with Ilyash, he called for the capture of the city and the entire territory of Ukraine. In addition, the person involved "leaked" the Russian general with relevant information about the consequences of enemy attacks on the regional center.
In Kyiv, the SBU exposed an enemy agitator who was spreading pro-Kremlin narratives under the guise of a journalist and human rights defender. He called for dodging of mobilisation and tried to discredit the Security and Defence Forces.
To do this, he created artificial conflict situations with law enforcement officers and military personnel on the city streets and in the public reception rooms of state institutions.
The attacker recorded his provocations on a mobile phone camera. Then he posted this video on the YouTube channel and his own pages in social networks with a total audience of more than 12 thousand users.
In the Cherkasy region, an employee of the local division of Ukrzaliznytsia was exposed for subversive activities. The stuntwoman spread Kremlin fakes about the Russian Federation's war against Ukraine among her colleagues and acquaintances.
Among other things, she glorified the occupiers and spread misinformation about the servicemen of the Defence Forces.
According to the investigation, the woman moved to Cherkasy from the temporarily occupied part of the Luhansk region in the spring of 2022. Subsequently, she began to look for ways to leave for the aggressor country, where she had relatives who supported the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation.
In the Poltava region, two more enemy agitators who supported the occupation of Ukraine on their social media pages were exposed. Also, in their posts, the defendants tried to discredit the Defence Forces and glorified the "Russian measure".
According to the revealed facts, investigations are ongoing to bring the guilty parties to justice.
