SSU detained another FSB agent in Kharkiv
The suspect turned out to be a 24-year-old unemployed Kharkiv resident who came to the attention of the FSB on Telegram channels where he published pro-Kremlin comments.
After recruitment, he received from the occupiers the geolocation of enemy caches with components for the SVP, supplemented them with telephones and explosives, and placed them in new hiding places.
In addition, the agent scouted the addresses of defense enterprises, in particular companies manufacturing and repairing combat drones.
To obtain information, the traitor asked his acquaintances during everyday conversations, and then conducted additional reconnaissance near the "necessary" object.
The enemy planned to use the corresponding coordinates to prepare a new series of air strikes on Kharkiv.
During a search of the detainee's residence, a mobile phone with an anonymous chat in the messenger through which he contacted the FSB was seized.

Part 2 of Article 111 (treason committed under martial law);
Part 1 of Article 263 (illegal acquisition and storage of an explosive device).
The perpetrator is currently being held without bail. He faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
