The SBU detained a cadet of a military institute who was preparing a missile attack on the barracks of her classmates at the request of the FSB.
This was reported by the SBU press service.
‘The Security Service's military counterintelligence exposed an FSB agent who wanted to launch a missile strike against one of Ukraine's military institutes,’ the SBU said in a statement.
According to the case file, the cadet was studying at a military institute in Lviv Region and was collaborating with Russian special services. The girl was promised a monetary reward for ‘leaking’ information. The enemy was most interested in the coordinates of the educational buildings and barracks of this institute, which was relocated from Kharkiv to Lviv Region after the outbreak of full-scale war.
As the investigation established, the traitor was going to pass on to the FSB the geolocation of the university's office buildings, where other cadets, including her classmates, were staying.
According to the occupiers' instructions, their accomplice was to leave the territory of the restricted facility without permission on the eve of the enemy shelling. The FSB was then to ‘evacuate’ its agent from Ukraine to the territory of the Russian Federation, including through transit through third countries.
The SBU military counterintelligence exposed the traitor in advance and documented her crimes in stages. Comprehensive measures were taken to secure the places of study and residence of the cadets of the Ukrainian university.
At the final stage of the special operation, the SBU detained the offender when she was trying to pass the coordinates of the ‘targets’ to the FSB and then escape from the military institute.At the place of detention, the SBU seized the agent's mobile phone with evidence of her work for the enemy.
The SBU investigators have now served the detainee a notice of suspicion under Part 2 Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (high treason committed under martial law).
The offender is in custody without the right to be released on bail. She faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
