Kyiv • UNN
The Security Service of Ukraine detained a Russian agent who was an employee of Ukrzaliznytsia and was planning a missile attack on the railway infrastructure in Chernihiv region to undermine the logistics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Law enforcement officers detained a Russian agent who was preparing a missile attack on strategic facilities of Ukrzaliznytsia in Chernihiv region. This was reported by UNN with reference to the press service of the Security Service of Ukraine.
Details
SBU officers prevented the transfer of an agent's "report" to Russian intelligence. This became possible due to the timely exposure of the traitor and his detention while performing an enemy task.
According to the investigation, the detainee was an employee of the local branch of Ukrzaliznytsia, an ideological supporter of the Russians. Since last year, he has become an active participant in Russian Telegram channels and thus came to the attention of the occupiers.
During the search of the detainee's house, the SBU seized a mobile phone and a tablet, which he used to communicate with the aggressor via messenger.
SBU investigators have served him a notice of suspicion under Part 2 Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (high treason committed under martial law). The attacker is in custody. He faces life imprisonment
Addendum
Investigators found out that the traitor was planning a missile attack on the railway line connecting the northern and eastern regions of Ukraine.
Another potential target of the enemy was the platforms for freight maintenance of rolling stock.
To fulfill the enemy's task, the defendant had to check the occupiers' intelligence on the possible use of the railway line to move military equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
To do this, he covertly tracked the movement of echelons, as well as recorded the directions of their routes and places of stops.
The agent was to remotely transmit the data to his Russian supervisor in the form of the coordinates of the railway line and rolling stock handling points. The defendant planned to confirm this information with photographs of Ukrainian facilities.
The invaders planned to use this information to launch a missile attack on the infrastructure of Ukrzaliznytsia to disrupt the logistics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
