Quote from the Security Service of Ukraine: “At the behest of the Russian special services, these accomplices carried out reconnaissance and diversionary activity: they collected and transmitted to the enemy intelligence data on important infrastructure facilities, fuel depots, the deployment and movement of Ukrainian personnel and equipment of the armed forces forces.
The occupiers used the data thus obtained to launch targeted missile strikes and massive artillery fire, including on positions held by the Ukrainian defenders.
Details: As a result of the actions of the informants, several sites of the shipbuilding infrastructure in Nikolaev were destroyed and damaged, including the Equator, Crystal and Ocean plants. Fuel warehouses and social infrastructure were also hit.
Pro-Russian artillery observers were recruited by the FSB at the start of Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine. They monitored objects of interest to the Russians and sent the results to their supervisor via closed electronic communication channels. The observers in question involved their acquaintances in the performance of some tasks.
