Officials from the Federal Security Service have detained a Penza resident on suspicion of relaying sensitive information to Ukrainian intelligence about Russian military personnel who participated in the special military operation. The case, announced through official channels, highlights the seriousness with which suspected disloyal acts are treated within national defense institutions.
During the investigation, investigators determined that the person engaged in a phone conversation with a representative from Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate. He reportedly expressed willingness to cooperate and share material that could assist foreign intelligence efforts. The information allegedly pertained to personal data about service members in the Northern Military District, illustrating how personal records and unit details might be misused if accessed by hostile entities.
A criminal case has been opened on charges of treason, reflecting the gravity of the alleged conduct and the potential repercussions for national security. Prosecutors and counterintelligence units are pursuing the matter to assess the extent of collaboration and the impact on military readiness and safety.
In a related line of work, counterintelligence officials and regional security authorities reported the arrest of a person in Yekaterinburg accused of planning a terrorist act against a military facility. This development underscores ongoing efforts by security services to detect and disrupt threats that could compromise critical defense infrastructure and personnel safety.
Separately, authorities detained a member of a group previously designated as a terrorist organization within the federation. The detention took place in the Belgorod region as part of broader operations aimed at preventing violence and maintaining public order. These actions reflect the persistent vigilance of security agencies in monitoring organizations that pose a direct danger to the state and its armed forces.
Earlier reports indicated that security services had apprehended two residents of Mariupol suspected of supporting or legitimizing terrorist activities. Taken together, these cases underscore the ongoing focus on extremist networks and the measures taken to prevent their influence from spreading across borders and regions. The coordination among various law enforcement and intelligence bodies remains a critical component in safeguarding national sovereignty and ensuring the safety of military personnel and civilians alike.
