What is known about the detained agent
As the SBU reported, the enemy's greatest interest was caused by the locations of the Defense Forces in the Pokrovsky direction, one of the hottest fronts.
The agent was a 23-year-old resident of Pokrovsk, who was recruited through a so-called "honey trap" on a dating website. A representative of the Russian special service offered him to "get to know him better" and instructed him to collect information, the SBU reports.
Subsequently, the new moon began to record Ukrainian military positions in the Pokrovsk region and transmit data to the occupiers about the consequences of airstrikes.
After that, the FSB sent an agent to the Sumy region to monitor the work of Ukrainian air defense. To carry out the tasks, he rented an apartment in the regional center and installed a mobile phone with additional power sources on the windowsill, which broadcast air attacks online for the FSB.
