The military counterintelligence of the Security Service of Ukraine has uncovered an FSB agent who aimed to direct a missile strike from the Russian Federation on one of Ukraine's military institutions.
As reported by the press center of the SBU, the enemy's accomplice was a cadet studying at this institution, who collaborated with the Russians in exchange for a promised monetary reward.
It is noted that the enemy was particularly interested in the coordinates of the academic buildings and barracks of this institution, which was relocated from Kharkiv to the Lviv region after the onset of full-scale war.
The investigation determined that the traitor intended to provide the FSB with the geolocations of the university's service buildings, where other cadets, including her classmates, were located.
"According to the occupiers' instructions, their accomplice was supposed to leave the territory of the restricted facility on the eve of the enemy shelling. Then the FSB was to carry out the 'evacuation' of their agent from Ukraine to the territory of the Russian Federation, specifically transiting through third countries. The military counterintelligence of the SBU uncovered the traitor in advance and systematically documented her crimes. Simultaneously, comprehensive measures were taken to ensure the safety of the cadets' educational and living areas," the statement said.
The special service informed that at the final stage of the operation, the SBU detained the offender as she attempted to transmit the coordinates of the FSB "targets" and subsequently escape from the military institute.
At the detention site, the agent was found with a mobile phone containing evidence of her collaboration with the enemy. SBU investigators informed the detainee of suspicion under part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (treason committed under martial law). The offender is currently in custody without the right to bail. She faces life imprisonment with asset confiscation.
Ukrainian companies supplied microchips for missiles and drones to the Russian Federation - what is known
Recently, the SBU uncovered enterprises in the Kharkiv, Chernivtsi, and Odesa regions that, during the full-scale invasion, circumvented international sanctions to supply the Russian Federation with electronic components for the production of missiles and drones.
The companies in question are part of a large international corporation based in the Russian Federation that produces unique microchips and electronic boards used in navigation and control systems for ballistic and cruise missiles such as "X-101," "Kalibr," and "Iskander-K." Some of these boards are also used for the guidance systems of kamikaze drones, multiple launch rocket systems "Tornado-G," and onboard navigation for the Ka-52 attack reconnaissance helicopter.
