SSU detained a Russian fire adjuster in Kherson
According to cyber experts and SSU investigators, the enemy's main targets were the positions of Ukrainian troops defending the region.
As the investigation established, the Russian special services recruited a 44-year-old local unemployed woman to determine the coordinates of the fire attack. The woman came to the attention of the occupiers when she published pro-Kremlin comments on Telegram channels.
To carry out the enemy task, the figure walked around the streets of the regional center and its surroundings, covertly photographed Defense Forces bases and plotted their locations on Google Maps.
In addition, she also monitored the consequences of enemy shelling and prepared relevant reports for supervisors.
SSU officers documented the crimes of the defendant and detained her "red-handed" while she was conducting additional reconnaissance near a military facility.
At the scene, a mobile phone containing evidence of working for the enemy was seized from the traitor.
Currently, investigators of the Security Service have informed the detainee of suspicion under Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (high treason committed under martial law). The perpetrator is in custody. She faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
