The Security Service of Ukraine has apprehended two individuals working for the FSB, who were directing Russian airstrikes on Kyiv. They set up 4G cameras with remote access for the aggressors.
Using these devices, the occupiers aimed to monitor missile and drone strikes in real-time. They were particularly interested in the coordinates of the Ukrainian air defense systems.
Investigations revealed that most of the cameras were installed on the windows of upper floors in apartment buildings in Kyiv and Chernihiv regions.
The agents rented apartments using FSB funds and installed video equipment.
The case involves a 22-year-old man and his 19-year-old wife, who were looking for profitable offers in Telegram channels.
After recruitment, they traveled through northern cities in Ukraine, searching for homes near military facilities.
Specifically, they set up cameras near key railway stations of Ukrzaliznytsia.
The SBU preemptively identified this couple and took measures to secure the locations.
During the final phase of the operation, they were caught red-handed while installing a camera near a defense facility.
SBU investigators charged them under Part 2 of Article 28 and Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (high treason committed in wartime by a group of individuals in conspiracy).
The offenders are being held in custody without the right to bail. They face life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
The operation was conducted by SBU staff in Kyiv and Kyiv region under the procedural guidance of the regional prosecutor's office.
