The SBU detained a Russian collaborator who was preparing caches for terrorist attacks near the port infrastructure in Odesa.
According to the investigation, the suspect is a 32-year-old woman from Odesa who was remotely recruited by a member of the Russian special operations forces at the end of 2024.

The new task from the Russian Federation, which the defendant received, was to arrange a cache with components for an improvised explosive device (IED) near the port.
To do this, the woman traveled to Dnipro, where, using the coordinates of her Russian handler, she took an explosive element disguised as a cigarette pack from a cache. Upon returning to Odesa, the traitor tried to plant the component for the IED in a pre-prepared cache near the port infrastructure.
However, SBU counterintelligence detained the agent red-handed and seized a part of the explosive device from her.
