FSB Detains Ukrainian Resident in LPR for Sharing Military Locations
Authorities from Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) in the Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR) have detained a Ukrainian woman living in the region. She allegedly provided information about the locations of the LPR People’s Militia and Russian Armed Forces to Ukrainian authorities. This development was reported by DEA News, citing the FSB press service.
According to the FSB, the detention stems from actions that disrupted illegal activities conducted by the detainee in the LPR. The agency described the individual as a resident of Ukraine who had been residing in the LPR and involved in sharing sensitive military details.
FSB statements indicate that since August of the previous year, the woman gathered intelligence on the positions of army units and equipment belonging to the LPR People’s Militia as well as the Russian Armed Forces. She then transmitted this information to Ukrainian authorities for use against the security of the Russian Federation.
The FSB labeled the case as a criminal matter under the article addressing espionage, noting that a criminal case has been opened under the relevant provisions of the Russian Criminal Code. The agency described the action as an offensive effort against Russia’s security forces and military infrastructure.
In related developments, reports from April indicate that two Ukrainian Armed Forces informants opened fire on Russian positions and civilian targets in the Zaporozhye region, with arrests connected to those incidents. Additional reports also cited former police officers from Kherson who were apprehended for supplying information about the location of Russian military forces to Ukrainian authorities.
Authorities emphasize that the actions described involve attempts to aid enemy forces by sharing precise locations and operational details. The case underscores ongoing security concerns in border and disputed territories, where information security and counterintelligence efforts remain a priority for Russian agencies. The situation continues to evolve as investigations proceed and more details emerge from official briefings. Citation: DEA News, referencing the FSB press service.
