Ukraine's Military Intelligence Releases Documentary On Agent Operating Behind Enemy Lines
In the documentary "Agent Sveta," fighters of the Shamanbat special unit of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine's Ministry of Defense reveal details of a long-running intelligence operation in the temporarily occupied city of Enerhodar in the Zaporizhzhia region.
"For three years, right under the noses of the FSB and Rosgvardia, 'Sveta' operated in the satellite city of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant – an agent of Ukrainian intelligence services holding a Russian passport. Under the guidance of intelligence officers, 'Sveta' tracked collaborators, military leadership, warehouses, and headquarters of occupying forces. The targets identified by the agent later became strike objectives for Ukrainian forces," HUR said.
"I simply carried information from one point to another as instructed. I walked around places where I needed to see or verify something. I reported what I saw – where equipment was located, where troops were concentrated, where they were most often present," the former agent said about her work.

Interrogations by Russian security services yielded no results, as the agent did not reveal her connection to the Ukrainian side.
"After returning home, 'Sveta' informed intelligence officers about the interrogation – 'Shamanbat' immediately began planning an evacuation mission," HUR said.
"A reconnaissance group was tasked with planning, assembling, and equipping with special tools. The soldiers who were offered this mission didn't even question whether they could refuse. Everyone understood that there was a woman who had done an enormous amount of work and needed help," said the operation's leader, an intelligence officer with the call sign "Triangle."
HUR stated that the rescue operation lasted two days: special forces reached the outskirts of Enerhodar by water and land, met with "Sveta," and brought her back to Ukrainian-controlled territory.
"When we had moved further away to safer areas, and she finally met in person the operatives she had been communicating with for three years, she recognized one of them by voice. They embraced – and that's when we exhaled and realized the mission was accomplished," recalled "SID," commander of the assault group that extracted the agent.
HUR noted that the work of "Sveta" and hundreds of other Ukrainian agents in temporarily occupied territories demonstrates Ukrainians' ability to resist and fight.
"We never abandon people who trust us, because they are our people who have been working for three years. It's not about protection – it's about human relationships, about one person helping another," intelligence officer "Triangle" added.
