The Security Service of Ukraine exposed and detained a citizen who, under the guise of an international cargo transportation driver, worked for Russian special services. The agent collected coordinates of defense and critical infrastructure facilities and transmitted them to the enemy for missile strikes. This was reported by the SBU, writes UNN.
Details
As the investigation established, the detained truck driver carried out tasks for the Federal Security Service of Russia – he transmitted data on the location of strategic objects on the territory of Ukraine to the occupiers.
His main function was to identify and record the geolocations of military facilities, warehouses, energy enterprises, and other critical infrastructure objects. The agent sent the obtained coordinates to representatives of Russian special services for further adjustment of missile strikes.
In addition, while on foreign assignments, the agent tracked the movement of weapons and military goods transported through the territory of the European Union towards Ukraine and transmitted relevant information to the enemy.
According to the SBU, the spy recorded targets during his trips, using several mobile devices for conspiracy. Six smartphones were found on him, containing coordinates, photo and video materials with evidence of cooperation with the FSB.
Cyber specialists of the Security Service found out that this man was part of an FSB agent network that was exposed back in January 2025. At that time, law enforcement officers detained three members of the group, but the driver himself was abroad. He was detained immediately after returning to Ukraine.
Currently, SBU investigators have notified the suspect of suspicion under Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – high treason committed under martial law.
The detainee is in custody. If found guilty, he faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
