In Vinnytsia, Ukraine’s Security Service said they have arrested a Russian FSB agent who spied on deliveries of the military equipment to the frontlines.
The agent was caugh snooping on Ukrainian Armed Forces units moving along highways in the Vinnytsia and Cherkasy regions, which helped Russia monitor troop movements in real time and pinpoint their strikes on the Ukrainian military columns.
The detainee, a 51-year-old paramedic, had strong pro-Russian views he would articulate on Telegram channels. Following instructions from his FSB handlers, he used his car to travel along inter-regional highways, tracking the movement of Defense Force units.
One documented incident shows the agent tailing a military convoy for nearly 100 kilometers, trying to determine its route, as well as the types and number of vehicles in the column.
SBU counterintelligence operatives arrested him near his home on Thusday, seizing his mobilie phone that he had used for communication with his FSB handler, Donetsk-based blogger Sergei Lebedev.
Based on the collected evidence, the SBU charged the suspect with treason under Article 111, Part 2, of the Ukrainian Criminal Code. The suspect is now in custody facing a possible life sentence with confiscation of property.

Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline. This is the second stabilization point established under the Steel Front initiative in cooperation with the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.
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.
