The counterintelligence unit of the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) has detained another Russian agent in Sumy who was involved in adjusting attacks by Russian forces.
According to the case materials, the suspect is a 36-year-old saleswoman at a local shop. She came to the attention of Russian security services through her husband, who lives in Kursk and cooperates with a Russian intelligence agency.
After being recruited remotely, the woman received tasks to identify and pass on the geolocations of Ukraine’s Defense Forces in the region to Russian forces.
To obtain the information, the agent covertly questioned an acquaintance — an active servicemember of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. She then traveled in her own car to conduct additional reconnaissance near Ukrainian facilities.
During these trips, the suspect photographed defense locations and marked their positions on Google Maps. She later compiled the collected information into an intelligence “report” for the FSB.
Thanks to the оперативe response of SSU counterintelligence officers, the Russian agent was detained at her place of residence.
During a search, officers seized a smartphone on which she stored the geolocations of potential “targets” and coordinated her actions with the FSB.
SSU investigators have formally notified her of suspicion under Part 2 of Article 28 and Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (high treason committed by a group of persons acting in prior conspiracy under martial law).
The suspect is currently in custody. She faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
As the suspect’s husband is an FSB “handler” located on the territory of the Russian Federation, comprehensive measures are ongoing to bring him to justice.
