The SBU uncovered three more Russian agents who activated dozens of Starlinks for the rashists in Dnipro and Zhytomyr
The Security Service blocked two more schemes for the illegal registration of Starlink satellite terminals for Russian armed groups.
As a result of comprehensive measures, three Russian agents who were illegally verifying internet station accounts were detained.
The investigation found that all those detained were drug-dependent individuals who were looking for “quick” earnings in Telegram channels.
🔹 Thus, in Dnipro SBU counterintelligence exposed a suspect who carried out tasks for the rashists in exchange for money to buy drugs.
At the enemy’s request, the woman registered one Starlink in her name and then began recruiting her acquaintances, who were also looking for money for a “fix,” to register terminals.
🔹 In Zhytomyr, SBU cyber specialists detained a local unemployed woman and her male friend.
According to the case materials, the suspect first registered one Starlink station in her own name, then involved an acquaintance, and together they began “serial” activations at post offices.
To do this, the offenders used front persons who, for a “percentage,” provided their personal data to verify the internet stations.
SBU officers documented the subversive activities of the suspects and detained them at their places of residence.
The Security Service also blocked all illegally registered Starlink systems.
Investigators of the Security Service notified the three detainees of suspicion in the crimes committed under several articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:
▪️ ch. 2 art. 28, ch. 1 art. 114-1 (obstruction of the lawful activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations in a special period, committed by prior conspiracy of a group of persons);
▪️ ch. 1 art. 111-2 (aiding the state-aggressor).
The suspects face from 8 to 12 years of imprisonment.
The comprehensive measures were carried out by officers of the Main Directorate of the SBU in Dnipropetrovsk region and the SBU Directorate in Zhytomyr region together with the National Police under the procedural supervision of the regional prosecutor’s offices.
