The Security Service of Ukraine has detained a woman who was plotting a missile strike on the Kharkiv City Council. Counterintelligence revealed that she was passing information about the location of Ukrainian forces.

The arrested individual, a 45-year-old unemployed local, contacted Russian intelligence services through social media, where she posted pro-Russian comments.

Her task was to monitor administrative buildings and check for military equipment nearby.

She maintained contact with Russian agents via a chatbot managed by a person nicknamed "Lohmaty" from Donetsk.

The Security Service documented her activities and arrested her at her residence.

The woman faces charges under two articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:

 Part 2 of Article 114-2 (unauthorized dissemination of information about the Armed Forces of Ukraine);
 Part 2 of Article 436-2 (justification of armed aggression by the Russian Federation against Ukraine).

She will remain in custody without the right to bail, facing up to 8 years in prison with asset confiscation.

The operation was carried out by SBU officers in the Kharkiv region under the supervision of the regional prosecutor's office.
