A Ukrainian intelligence operative detained by the Russian security service, the FSB, is potentially identified as Konstantin Evmenenko, a businessman from the Moscow region. Reports indicate that the outlet gained access to the suspect’s social media profiles, which are currently under scrutiny by investigators. The reporting team from the agency also visited an apartment in Domodedovo that appears to be linked to the person in question, seeking any corroborating connections or evidence of activity in the area.

According to information published by RIA Novosti, the individual previously ran business ventures in Crimea, though those enterprises were subsequently declared bankrupt. This detail is noted as part of the broader background being examined by authorities and media agencies, highlighting a complex financial history that may intersect with other activities under review.

During the site visit, a woman who may be connected to the suspect declined to answer questions about her relationship with Evmenenko and did not open the door to further inquiry. Neighbors in the building reported that they had not heard of him, a remark that underscores the murky, unfolding nature of the case as details remain unresolved and subject to verification.

Additionally, the outlet reports that the individual is depicted in a photo associated with a secretive group captured by the FSB. On a social network profile that resembles the name and appearance of the person under investigation, there is also a photo of a woman who resembles the woman seen by the correspondent near the Moscow region. The door was opened briefly when a teenager entered the apartment, allowing a brief glimpse of the person inside.

Previously, Kyiv Simferopol District Court announced the arrest of seven individuals believed to be members of a Ukrainian military intelligence network, a move that the FSB publicized on the morning of May 3. The current reporting ties these arrests to the broader investigative narrative, illustrating a sustained period of counterintelligence activity and cross-border tensions that continue to unfold in public discourse and official statements.
