Saleswoman arrested for correcting enemy strikes on Kramatorsk — SBU
Counterintelligence agents of the State Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) have detained a 35-year-old saleswoman of a military store in Kramatorsk in the Donetsk region, who was correcting enemy attacks in the city.
"In order to collect coordinates for shelling, the woman tried to secretly use the military who visited the store. To do this, the person in question established a trusting relationship with them, and then asked for the necessary information during everyday conversations. In this way, the woman was supposed to find out for Russian intelligence data on the deployment and number of Defense Forces units near Kramatorsk," the SBU said on Telegram on Thursday.
Among other things, the attacker was interested in the coordinates of fortified areas, mobile checkpoints and combat positions of Ukrainian artillery. The woman also walked around the front-line area and marked on Google Maps the coordinates of the defenders of the Donetsk region, against whom the occupiers were preparing strikes.
SBU counterintelligence officers exposed the perpetrator and detained her. During the search, a laptop and smartphone were seized from her, from which she coordinated her intelligence activities with the occupiers.
"According to the case materials, the woman was remotely recruited by the racists through her acquaintance - a fighter of the armed groups of the Russian Federation, who is fighting against Ukraine on the eastern front," the report states.
SBU investigators informed the detainee of suspicion under Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (high treason committed under martial law). The perpetrator is in custody. She faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
