The SSU exposed a Russian agent network that was preparing a terrorist attack against the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Kyiv region
SBU counter-intelligence successfully prevented a terrorist attack planned by Russian special services in the Kyiv region. During the special operation, four members of the Russian intelligence network were detained, who were preparing to detonate an explosive device near the entrance to the building where one of the units of the Defense Forces is located. About this informs SBU
“According to the investigation materials, the improvised explosive device was in a tactical backpack, which was to be delivered to the regime facility by a minor agent of the Russian special services, dressed in a Ukrainian-style military uniform. The enemy tracked his movements online and planned to detonate the explosives as soon as the young man entered the premises .
At the same time, the agent himself, who was supposed to be blown up, did not know that a fatal end was being prepared for him. He thought the SVP would be detonated after he left the building.” – says the message.
SBU counter-intelligence detected the enemy’s plans in advance and implemented a set of measures to prevent a terrorist attack. As a result, a minor suspected of terrorist activity was arrested, as well as three other agents involved in the organization of this crime.
The investigation established that the Russian special services planned to use this terrorist attack to destabilize the socio-political situation in Ukraine. The aim was to create the illusion of internal conflict among the Defense Forces, with one “serviceman” supposedly undermining others in protest.
The extras were indicted under the articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine: ch. 2 Art. 111 (treason under martial law) and ch. 2 Art. 263 (illegal handling of weapons and explosives). All suspects are currently being held without bail. For what they committed, they face life imprisonment with confiscation of property, the SBU reported.
