Ukraine’s Security Service said on Friday they have arrested an FSB agent suspected of coordinating Russian missile strikes on the city.
The individual, whose identity remains disclosed, was allegedly involved in spying on the sites of Russian attacks in Odesa. Ukraine’s intelligence revealed that the man passed the information to the FSB handlers about the damaged caused by two missile strikes that targeted Odesa on March 15.
According to the Security Service of Ukraine, the agent arrived at the scene shortly after the attacks to assess the damage and promptly sent the detailed report on it to the FSB through his acquaintance who helped Russian occupational troops in Mariupol and Bakhmut involved in the occupation of Mariupol and Bakhmut.
The agent continued to spy and coordinate further attacks that targeted key mobile bases of defense units in Odesa
The SBU operatives documented the suspect’s espionage activities and detained him as he was going to send anothe scoop of gathered information.
The agent was also found to have been active on social media where he spread false information about Ukrainian troops and justified Russian war crimes.
The search of the suspect’s home found mobile phones and laptops containing evidence of his criminal activities. Now the man is facing treason and espionage charges under art. 111, 161, and 432 of Ukraine’s Criminal Code.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
