Ukraine’s SBU security service has detained a Russian FSB security service agent in Kharkiv who was spying on Ukrainian defenders in preparation for terrorist attacks, the SBU wrote on its Telegram channel on March 15.

The detainee was trying to identify the temporary deployment and residence locations of Ukrainian fighters, as well as their private travel routes.

He paid special attention to pilots, Armed Forces commanders, and security service officers.

The SBU documented the spy’s covert photo and video recordings of the areas near Ukrainian defenders’ bases and their vehicles.
