Ukraine’s security services (SBU) said on Wednesday they had arrested two people suspected of being Russian agents who allegedly provided Moscow forces with coordinates of important military installations. “As a result of a special operation in Kyiv and Odessa, two FSB officers were detained,” the SBU said in a statement, citing Russian special services.
“The criminals tried to determine the location of Ukrainian troops, and then send the occupiers the corresponding coordinates to adjust Russian air attacks,” the report says.
According to the SBU, two suspected Russian agents “were arrested red-handed while spying on potential targets of the occupiers.” According to the same source, one of the suspects took photographs of the thermal power plant, apparently to help Russia strike Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
The two men are charged with collaboration and face life in prison.
Since the beginning of the conflict, Ukraine has opened more than 6,600 criminal proceedings against individuals “for cooperation or other crimes related to the conflict,” the UN indicated at the end of 2023.
