The Security Service of Ukraine liquidated the Russian spy network that was spying on the positions of the Ukrainian military near the eastern front.

This was reported by the SBU press center.

"The security service continues to intensify the "clearing" of the front-line areas of the east from enemy agents and sabotage-intelligence groups. In the course of counter-intelligence measures, the activities of the Russian agent network, which collected intelligence on the deployment and movement of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Slovyansk, Kramatorsk, and Pokrovsky districts of Donetsk region, were stopped. , - the message says.

The perpetrators reported to the occupiers about the consequences of rocket and bomb attacks, artillery shelling of the region and the scale of the destruction of residential buildings and civil infrastructure facilities.

It was established that one of the "liaison" agents was a representative of the occupation administration of the Russian Federation. He turned out to be an "official" of the so-called "supreme court of the DNR", involved in the persecution and illegal imprisonment of Ukrainians in the temporarily occupied territory of Donetsk region.

According to the investigation, the agent network included six local residents who were recruited by the special services of the Russian Federation after the start of the full-scale invasion. In order to collect information, the attackers independently monitored the locations and movements of the armed forces.

"They transmitted the received data to the invaders through special Internet platforms in the form of coordinates on electronic maps with confirming materials of photo and video recording. In addition, during investigative and operative actions in the Pokrovsky district, a pro-Kremlin agitator was detained. The attacker distributed propaganda publications on the Internet, in which he justified the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. He used his own account in Russian social networks to "disperse" destructive content," the SBU said.

Currently, all detainees have been notified of suspicions of committing crimes against the state security of Ukraine. The issue of choosing them as a preventive measure in the form of detention is being resolved.

We will remind, since the beginning of the full-scale war with the Russian Federation , more than 1,600 saboteurs and collaborators have been detained.
