A woman suspected of carrying out attacks on the port was detained in Odesa

SBU officers detained a local woman in Odesa who is suspected of coordinating enemy strikes against National Guard facilities, ports, and oil refineries. She was caught red-handed while conducting reconnaissance near another target.

This was reported by the Security Service of Ukraine. 

During her arrest, a smartphone containing evidence of her work for the FSB was seized from the woman. She is currently being held in custody without the right to bail. She faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.

Law enforcement officials determined that the espionage mission was carried out by a sales representative of a local food company who had been recruited by the enemy. She found contacts for Russian special services on Telegram while looking for a side job. 

After being recruited in a messenger chat, the agent communicated with the enemy through an employee of one of the departments of the Russian Federation’s Ministry of Internal Affairs in the temporarily occupied Crimea. Following his instructions, the suspect tracked the locations where Ukrainian troops and military equipment were concentrated and then marked them on Google Maps for a subsequent “report” to the FSB.

Separately, the agent documented the locations of oil refineries and major logistics centers in the Port of Odesa.

To maintain the secrecy of her reconnaissance missions, she constantly switched between different public transportation routes, using her phone camera to photograph the locations of Ukrainian facilities from the windows of the vehicles.
