The SBU detained an FSB agent group that was preparing massive airstrikes in Ukraine on the eve of Easter

The Security Service detained an FSB agent group that was preparing coordinates for massive airstrikes in the Kyiv, Cherkasy, Poltava, Vinnytsia, and Kirovohrad regions on the eve of Easter.

Among the enemy's priority targets were energy-generating enterprises and logistics warehouses for the storage of fuel and lubricants.

In addition, the occupiers hoped to receive "confirmation" from their agency regarding the current geolocations of military airfields, as well as special forces guarding the General Staff of the Armed Forces.

To carry out these tasks, the Russian special service involved two of its agents from Uman and Luben. For the conspiracy, those involved acted separately, but remotely "locked" on one curator from the FSB.

The Security Service found out about all this at the initial stage of the intelligence activity of Russian agents, which it promptly exposed and documented step by step.

Thanks to this, they were able to be caught red-handed near Kyiv, where they were conducting reconnaissance near potential targets, and thereby thwart the aggressor's plans to prepare airstrikes.

As the investigation established, both persons involved, 28-year-old unemployed, were recruited remotely in March of this year by a staff member of the "Crimean Administration" of the FSB. His identity has already been established by the Security Service.

He promised his agents a monetary reward for cooperation with the occupiers. Anonymous chat in a popular messenger was used for communication.

So far, the investigators of the Security Service have informed the detainees about the suspicion under Part 2 of Art. 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (treason committed under martial law).

The perpetrators are in custody. They face life imprisonment.

The special operation was carried out by SBU employees in the city of Kyiv and the Kyiv region under the procedural guidance of the Kyiv regional prosecutor's office.
