Ukraine’s security service, the SBU, said it has exposed a spy ring responsible for pinpointing Russian missile strikes in the Kirovohrad region. Among other things, the Russian-led agents gathered intelligence on local recruitment offices and oil depots.
Investigation found that Russian FSB had recruited a native of Kherson who fled to Kropyvnitskyi and a local man. Both of them were recruited by the FSB after they responded to a post on Telegram channel offering quick money.
They said yes to it and soon were tasked with monitoring the Ukrainian army positions, locations of local recruitment offices, oil depots, power plants, and bridges used by Ukrainian forces for transportation of military equipment to the front lines.
The spies sent the intelligence to their Russian handlers via messaging apps.
Ukrainian counterintelligence arrested the duo while they filming the burning railway equipment they set fire, which was part of ‘odd jobs’ they signed up to. The SBU charged the men with treason and sabotage, meaning they can face the possibility of life imprisonment and asset confiscation.

After the full-scale invasion, thousands of Ukrainian women were forced to flee abroad to save their children. Oleksandra Nikitina was one of them—she had to evacuate her three children to Europe. She also enrolled at the London School of Economics and Political Science, wrote research on the uniqueness of Ukrainian volunteering, and founded the project “Vtomlena” (translated “Fatigued”). In an interview with Bukvy, she recounts her journey from Crimea to her current research work, which lays the groundwork for future changes in Ukraine.
