A woman who was passing on the coordinates of Ukraine's air defense systems to the Russian Federation has been apprehended in the Odesa region
Another woman involved in coordinating Russian strikes has been detained in the Odesa region. According to investigators, the woman collected and transmitted the coordinates of Ukrainian air defense positions, preparing data for a new series of strikes on the region.
The enemy planned to carry out precision strikes against Ukrainian air defense forces protecting the airspace of the coastal zone.
"The Russian special services paid particular attention to the bases of mobile fire groups, as well as the combat positions of anti-aircraft missile systems and radar stations of the Defense Forces.
To identify the ‘required’ geolocations and transmit them to the FSB, the agent traveled by public transport through the area near the Black Sea coast,” the statement reads.
Upon identifying military facilities, the woman conducted reconnaissance near them, during which she photographed and filmed the outer perimeters of potential “targets.”
She also marked their locations on Google Maps and then saved screenshots of the electronic coordinates on her smartphone.
The agent transmitted the collected data to her Russian handler via an anonymous chat in a messaging app.
The SBU documented the suspect’s crimes and apprehended her “red-handed” as she was recording the positions of Ukrainian troops on her smartphone.
The investigation established that a local saleswoman recruited by the FSB was responsible for directing Russian strikes.
An FSB agent who spied on Kyiv’s defense facilities was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Earlier in Kherson, the Security Service of Ukraine detained a Russian agent who was preparing a sabotage operation to infiltrate the right bank of the region.
The Counterintelligence Directorate of the Security Service of Ukraine detained a woman suspected of collaborating with Russia’s FSB. According to the investigation, she coordinated airstrikes on Kyiv’s energy infrastructure and gathered information on the movements of the Defense Forces.
