The SBU detained an agent of the Russian GRU who was employed at several factories in Dnipro to adjust enemy strikes against them
The Main Directorate for Internal Security of the SBU exposed another agent of Russian military intelligence (better known as the GRU) in Dnipro. He turned out to be an electrician recruited by the enemy who helped Russia prepare air strikes on local facilities.
Recently the suspect changed several jobs at regional factories, trying to find an enterprise that works for Ukraine’s defense-industrial complex.
As soon as the agent was hired by a company actually connected to the defense sector, the SBU detained him.
According to case materials, having insight “from the inside,” the agent drew cartographic schemes of local factories for the Russians, marking rooms with particularly valuable equipment, production shops, and storage warehouses. He also reported to the enemy on the specifications of finished products and the enterprises’ work schedules.
It was also established that, in addition to spying at enterprises, the suspect tried to identify and adjust Russia’s missile and drone attacks on locations hosting the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Security Service of Ukraine.
SBU officers detained the malefactor at his place of residence.
The suspect’s smartphone was seized; he used it to collect intelligence and to contact the GRU “liaison.” That liaison turned out to be an employee of the occupying “MDB LNR,” who works for Russian military intelligence.
Investigators of the Security Service notified the detainee of suspicion under part 2 of art. 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (high treason committed under martial law).
The malefactor is held in custody without the right to post bail. He faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
Comprehensive measures were carried out by investigators of the Main Directorate of the SBU in Dnipropetrovsk region under the procedural supervision of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Prosecutor’s Office.
