SBU detains FSB medical agent who adjusted strikes in Kherson

SBU officers detained a 26-year-old nurse at a Kherson city hospital on suspicion of collaborating with the Russian FSB. According to the investigation, he was passing intelligence to the enemy to direct bombs and kamikaze drones at Ukrainian positions.

This was reported by the SBU.

It has been established that the main targets of the enemy were reserve command posts, warehouses, air defense positions and checkpoints. The man collected information while traveling to work, taking pictures of military facilities on his phone. Then he marked the coordinates on Google maps and sent them to his supervisor-agent via messenger.

The detention became possible after the SBU found that the nurse was recruited by his former neighbor, who fled to Russia after the de-occupation of Kherson. During the search, the SBU seized a smartphone with evidence of espionage activity. He was notified of suspicion under the article on disseminating information about the Armed Forces, which provides for up to 12 years in prison.

As a reminder, since the beginning of 2025, the SBU has exposed 147 people working for the occupation authorities in Crimea and has already secured 32 court convictions. Among the suspects are 'officials' of the occupation administrations, organizers of pseudo-elections, propagandists, and defendants in cases of looting of archaeological heritage.

Since the beginning of 2025, the SBU has served suspicion notices to 147 people who contribute to the establishment of the Kremlin regime in the occupied Crimea. During this time, the courts have already handed down 32 verdicts against the defendants.

Among the suspects are 54 representatives of illegal administrations, "courts" and armed groups. In particular, Valentyna Lavryk, who became the "Minister of Education, Science and Youth of the Republic of Crimea" after the occupation began, is suspected of treason in absentia. The crimes of Oleksandr Dyachenko, the head of the Varyag military-patriotic club, where children were trained to serve in the Russian army, were also documented: they were taught to shoot, work with drones and sabotage activities.

A separate category of suspects includes 59 organizers of fake elections and so-called deputies, as well as 12 Crimeans who voluntarily assisted Russian military groups.
