Ukrainian special services have detained an agent group of the Federal Security Service of Russia, who are suspected of preparing massive airstrikes in the Kyiv, Cherkasy, Poltava, Vinnytsia and Kirovohrad regions on the eve of Easter.

This was reported by the Security Service of Ukraine.

It is noted that the Russian special service recruited two men from Uman and Lubny. They were supposed to report the coordinates of energy-generating enterprises and logistic warehouses for the storage of fuel and lubricants.

«For the purpose of the conspiracy, the participants acted separately, but remotely «locked in» to one curator from the FSS,» the message reads.

The law enforcement officers also indicate that both suspects were arrested «red handed» near Kyiv, where they were conducting reconnaissance near potential targets.

So far, the men have been notified of suspicion under Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (treason committed under martial law). The perpetrators are in custody. They face life imprisonment.

We will remind that in Kharkiv they detained a suspect in adjusting enemy fire, who was spying on the positions of the Armed Forces under the guise of walking his dog.
