The SBU detained an FSB agent who purchased an IP camera to guide Russian drones to fuel depots in Dnipro
Counterintelligence officers of the Security Service exposed another spotter in Dnipro. The perpetrator carried out FSB tasks to strike fuel and energy infrastructure facilities and logistics centers using an IP camera and visual surveillance.
It was determined that, following the Russians’ instructions, the agent directed Russian loitering munitions at fuel depots and facilities for the maintenance and restoration of military equipment.
It was documented how the suspect drove around the regional center and adjacent districts in her car to identify and pass on the coordinates of fuel and lubricant storage sites to the enemy.
During her reconnaissance outings she also hoped to find locations of the technical support facilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. To that end, the woman recorded on her smartphone the technical premises near which Ukrainian service members’ vehicles were located.
Later the perpetrator purchased an IP camera, which she planned to install in her own car to make video recording and transmission of the collected data to the enemy more convenient.
SBU officers exposed the agent in advance and detained her at her place of residence. During searches they found a “video trap,” a tablet, and four smartphones that she used for video recording and communication with the FSB.
The investigation found that the spotter was a local resident who came to the enemy’s attention through her mother, who lives in the temporarily occupied part of Donetsk region.
After recruitment, the agent established a closed communication channel with an FSB handler through an anonymous messenger chat.
Based on the collected evidence, SBU investigators informed the detained woman of suspicion under part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (treason committed under martial law).
The perpetrator is in custody. She faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
The SBU carried out comprehensive measures in Dnipropetrovsk region under the procedural supervision of the regional prosecutor’s office.
