In the Odessa region, the SBU exposed a 47-year-old engineer who was spying for the FSB. On behalf of the occupiers, the agent was supposed to obtain information about secret Ukrainian developments.
The man got a job at a factory in the Odessa region that fulfills defense orders, in order to gain access to secret documentation on the production of components for the latest automotive equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"From the first day of his stay on the territory of the enterprise, the "mole" tried to gain access to drawings and technological schemes for the production of spare parts for wheeled vehicles. To do this, he covered himself with his professional duties as an engineer, and also tried to "earn" the trust of colleagues who are directly involved in the production process as quickly as possible," the SBU report says .
In addition, the agent also performed the function of a corrector. In particular, to help the Russians "bypass" the air defense system of the Odessa region, he traveled around the region and tried to identify air defense combat positions and radar stations.
The SBU counterintelligence detained the suspect and carried out comprehensive measures to secure the locations of the Ukrainian defenders.
During the searches, photos of technical documentation that he planned to hand over to the aggressor, as well as other evidence of work for the enemy's secret service, were seized from the detainee.
The perpetrator is in custody. He faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
