A deserter helped coordinate the Russian occupiers attacks on Dnipro

Military counterintelligence and investigators from the Security Service of Ukraine have exposed yet another agent of the Russian Federal Security Service. The traitor turned out to be a conscript who had been recruited, had left his military unit without authorization, and was coordinating attacks on Dnipro.

The SBU reported this on its Telegram channel. 


The traitor came to the attention of the Russians while searching for “easy money” on Telegram channels after fleeing his unit. After agreeing to work for the FSB, the agent scoured the city and its outskirts to identify and record the coordinates of defense and critical infrastructure sites.

Among the facilities the suspect was “hunting” for were checkpoints and backup command posts of Ukrainian troops, as well as stations of the regional branch of Ukrzaliznytsia. To covertly record potential “targets,” the agent filmed them under the guise of phone conversations.

Shortly after beginning his reconnaissance missions, the suspect decided to temporarily “lay low” at his relatives’ home in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

During a search of the agent’s residence, a smartphone was seized containing evidence of his work for the enemy, including encrypted video files of military facilities and their coordinates on Google Maps.

As a reminder, earlier the SBU’s Counterintelligence Service detained two more FSB agents in the Dnipropetrovsk region. According to the investigation, they were coordinating Russian forces’ missile and drone attacks on Dnipro and Kryvyi Rih. Law enforcement officers documented their activities and detained them during a special operation.

In Kyiv, a Russian agent who was directing strikes on the city was exposed.

Prior to this, the Security Service of Ukraine detained an enemy agent in Zaporizhzhia who was attempting to infiltrate a strategic enterprise within the defense-industrial complex.
