It is noted that SBU cyber specialists prevented new Russian attacks on defense lines and Ukrzaliznytsia facilities in Kharkiv region. "The key targets of the racists were the newly built fortifications and logistics routes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine," the SBU said.
"To adjust the shelling, the occupiers engaged their informant, a local resident who worked for Russian intelligence. On the instructions of the aggressor, she was to identify and mark on Google maps the geolocation of minefields, long-term defensive points, as well as systems of trenches and dugouts. In addition, the suspect tried to monitor the railroad tracks used by military echelons of the Armed Forces, especially those with heavy armored vehicles and artillery," the SBU said.
It is stated that "according to the coordinates of the enemy's accomplice, the invaders planned to carry out air attacks using cruise missiles and guided bombs".
"In the event of a fire attack on potential targets, the occupiers hoped to weaken Kharkiv's defense and destroy the railroad routes for transporting personnel, weapons and ammunition to the front," the SBU said.
After the Russian air strike, the suspect was supposed to "report" to the aggressor on the accuracy of the "arrivals" and then receive further instructions for "evacuation" to Russia. However, SBU cyber specialists exposed the agent in a timely manner, disrupted the enemy's plans and blocked the offender's escape to the aggressor country.
According to the investigation, the offender worked for the occupiers through a "contact". It turned out to be her brother from Donetsk, a militant of the Russian occupation group on the eastern front.
Based on the collected evidence, the SBU investigators served the detainee a notice of suspicion under Part 2 Art. 114-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
The offender faces up to 8 years in prison.
