The SSU Military Counterintelligence, with the assistance of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, detained an agent who was simultaneously working for russia’s federal security service and the intelligence unit of the belarusian border guard service.

According to the investigation, the perpetrator is a serviceman from an Unmanned Systems Forces unit.

While serving as a UAV operator, he leaked data to the enemy regarding the movement directions, types, and number of Defence Forces drones involved in combat operations in the northeastern border area.

Later, acting on his handlers’ instructions, the agent transferred to a position as an operator of Ukrainian ground-based robotic systems, used to evacuate the wounded and deliver ammunition in the Izium sector.

Instead of performing his duties on the front lines, the traitor began collecting data on the deployment and operation plans of adjacent Ukrainian military units.

Simultaneously, he was gathering information for the enemy on the tactical and technical characteristics, as well as the operational specifics, of the Defence Forces’ latest robotic systems.

After completing his espionage tasks, the agent hoped to flee to russia across the front line, where he was to be met by the russian intelligence operatives.

The SSU’s Military Counterintelligence acted pre-emptively and documented the agent’s crime. The mole was detained at his location in Kharkiv region.

Two smartphones, containing evidence of his work for the russian and belarusian intelligence services, were seized from the suspect during the search.

Security Service investigators notified the detainee of suspicion under Article 111.2 of the CCU (high treason, committed under martial law).

The suspect is in custody without bail and faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.

The operation was carried out jointly with the SSU Office in Sumy region under the procedural supervision of Sumy Specialised Defence Prosecutor’s Office of the Central Region.
