SSU Uncovers FSB Mole Guiding Russian Strikes On Ukrainian Forces


(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU), with the support of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi, has detained a driver from an assault regiment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces who was directing Russian strikes on his own unit's positions on the Kursk front.

The SSU reported this, as relayed by Ukrinform.

According to the SSU, the investigation established that the traitor was a 31-year-old driver of the assault regiment, engaged in combat missions on the Kursk front.

He granted the Russian FSB remote access to his mobile phone, allowing the invaders to track his real-time geolocation.

This made it possible for the Russians to use him as a "live beacon" to guide strikes on Ukraine's Defense Forces.

Before the strikes, the Russians would send him messages instructing him to immediately leave the strike zone.

Later, the suspect deserted his military unit and traveled to Kharkiv, where he awaited further instructions from his FSB handler.



The agent expected to receive an evacuation plan to Russia, which the Russian operative had promised him.

The SSU operatives arrested the suspect at his home in Kharkiv and seized a mobile phone containing evidence of his collaboration with the enemy.

Simultaneously, the SSU conducted a range of measures to secure the positions of Ukrainian troops at the front line.

Based on the evidence, the SSU has charged the suspect under Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - high treason committed under martial law.

The traitor is currently in custody. He faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.

The special operation was carried out by thr SSU officers in Kharkiv region under the procedural supervision of the Specialized Defense Prosecution Office of the Eastern Region.
