The Security Service of Ukraine exposed a border guard who is suspected of working for the FSS.

As reported in the press service of the department, the man was collecting information about the Defense Forces on the northern borders of Volyn region.

«On the instructions of the occupiers, the mole established the locations of fortified areas and the approximate number of Ukrainian troops defending the border with Belarus. He also tried to transmit the coordinates of warehouses with weapons and ammunition of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the region. In the event of enemy missions being carried out, the occupiers promised to «evacuate» their agent to the territory of Russia and place him in the occupation groups of the Russian Federation. The security service intercepted the relevant information in advance and documented the criminal actions of the person involved,» the message reads.

The suspect was detained near the place of service. The Security Service of Ukraine carried out comprehensive measures to secure the Ukrainian troops.

«According to the investigation, the suspect was remotely recruited by FSS employee Oleksii Dobrytskyi, who is stationed in temporarily occupied Luhansk. The contractor came into the field of view of the Russian Federation when he was serving in the east of Ukraine. Later, he was transferred to one of the divisions of the border detachment in the Volyn region,» the SSU added.

The detainee was charged with treason, committed under martial law, and faces life imprisonment.

We will remind that a suspect was detained in Mykolaiv Oblast for justifying the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. He faces up to 8 years in prison.
