The SBU detained a Russian “mole” in the ranks of the Armed Forces.

This was reported by the SBU press service.

“Military counterintelligence and investigators of the Security Service exposed another traitor as a result of a multi-stage special operation in the frontline areas of Ukraine. The attacker turned out to be a resident of Bakhmut, who was recruited by a representative of the 72nd intelligence center of the General Directorate of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (better known as the GRU) Mykyta Klymovsky even before the start of the full-scale invasion,” the report says.

It is noted that after February 24 last year, the Russian gave his agent the first intelligence task – to inform the aggressor about the consequences of airstrikes on the Ukrainian city. The occupiers were also interested in the exact coordinates of bridge crossings in Bakhmut and its surroundings.

Subsequently, the traitor received the next task from the Russian military intelligence – to arrive in Dnipropetrovsk region and mobilize to the ranks of the Defense Forces. After enlisting in one of the military units of the Armed Forces, the enemy agent collected information about the number of personnel and available weapons in the units.

The person involved also gave the aggressor information about possible visits to the garrison by representatives of the higher command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In this regard, the information regarding the preparation of a possible sabotage against the officials of the Armed Forces is being checked.

In addition, the attacker tried to identify the bases of the Ukrainian air defense system and the latest Western weapons.

However, military counter-intelligence and SBU investigators worked ahead of time – they exposed the traitor in a timely manner, documented the criminal actions and detained him while trying to pass intelligence to the Russian special services.

It was established that their accomplice used the Telegram messenger to communicate with the military intelligence of the Russian Federation.

During the searches, two mobile phones were found in the suspect’s possession, one of which he used only to communicate with his “supervisor” from the GRU.

On the basis of the collected evidence, SBU investigators informed the detainee of suspicion under part 2 of Article 111 (treason committed under martial law).

He is currently in custody. The perpetrator faces life imprisonment.

It will be recalled that two Russians tried to place their agent at a defense plant in Kyiv. The spies were notified of the suspicion, and the agent was detained.
