SBU catches FSB agent red-handed preparing missile attack on Ukrainian Railways
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) detained a Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) agent preparing a missile attack on Ukrainian Railways (UZ) objects of strategic importance in the western Khmelnytskyi Oblast, the SBU reported in its Sept. 6 press release.
The suspect was detained while attempting to install a GPS tracking device near a target previously identified by the FSB. The signal from this device would have been used by the Russians to adjust their missiles to target the object. He hoped to receive a financial reward from his FSB superior after the successful completion of the mission.
The detainee, a resident of the Ukrainian town of Slavuta, was recruited in the spring of 2023. He is currently in custody and faces possible life imprisonment under Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (treason committed during a state of war).
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
