“The illegal activities of two Russian citizens suspected of committing high treason in the form of espionage in the interests of the Security Service of Ukraine have been stopped,” the press release of the special service says.

The FSB found out that one of the detainees was recruited back in 2016 and was a “supporter of the Ukrainian ideology.”

For money, he transmitted information about the location of objects of the Russian Defense Ministry, the report says.

In the summer, on the instructions of curators from the SBU, the suspect involved his acquaintance in espionage, who collected and transmitted data on the objects of the FSB of Russia via WhatsApp, the department said.
