Kyiv • UNN
The SBU detained two citizens of the South Caucasus who were collecting information about the Ukrainian Armed Forces headquarters in Odesa for the FSB. The court sentenced both to 8 years in prison for unauthorized dissemination of information.
Thanks to the SBU evidence base, two FSB informers, who operated in Odesa region, received real prison terms. The offenders were reconnoitering the locations of the Defense Forces' command posts. This was reported by the press service of the SBU, according to UNN.
Details
It is noted that the area of special attention of the enemy's henchmen was the headquarters of the Armed Forces command in the southern direction.
SBU officers detained both criminals red-handed in April this year during a special operation in the regional center. Before the detention, Russian informants tried to photograph the perimeter of the potential target's building and pass its geolocation to the aggressor,
In case of obtaining the relevant coordinates, the occupiers planned to inflict fire on them. However, the Security Service foiled the racists' plans.
According to the investigation, the convicts are two citizens of one of the South Caucasus countries who lived in Odesa. There, they were remotely involved in reconnaissance and subversive activities by the FSB.
To identify the “right” targets, the foreigners went around the area, where they first tried to identify the locations of the Defense Forces, and then collected information about the available personnel and their functionality. In the future, the enemy's accomplices hoped to create their own network of informants, whom they planned to recruit under the guise of a public organization.
Based on the collected evidence, the court found both offenders guilty under Part 3 of Art. 114-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (unauthorized dissemination of information about the location of the Armed Forces of Ukraine committed under martial law). Based on the SBU materials, the court sentenced both offenders to 8 years in prison.
Recall
An FSB agent was detained in Odesa region, who was tracking the locations of the Defense Forces and preparing sabotage at Ukrzaliznytsia facilities. The suspect faces life imprisonment for high treason, sabotage and illegal possession of ammunition.
