[]
Latest news
Counterintelligence officers from Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) have detained two agents of Russian military intelligence (commonly known as the GRU) who coordinated enemy combined attacks in the Donetsk region.
To obtain targeting coordinates, Russian forces recruited local residents who had publicly called for the full occupation of the region in pro-Russian Telegram channels.
One of the detainees is a 49-year-old resident of Sloviansk who directed Russian airstrikes and artillery fire at concentrations of Ukrainian troops in the area.
To conceal his identity, he wore tactical gear and posed as a member of Ukraine’s Defense Forces while on assignment.
The second suspect is a 66-year-old resident of Kramatorsk, recruited by Russian intelligence through a personal acquaintance—a militant from Russian-backed armed groups on the eastern front.
