The department's website reports this.
“Law enforcement officers established that in order to carry out a sabotage mission, a recruited person must receive explosives in Odessa, sent by representatives of the Russian special services who are located in the unrecognized Transnistrian Moldavian Republic. Ukrainian Security Service operatives detained the courier at the Odessa bus station after receiving the package and seized an explosive device equivalent to 600 grams of TNT,” the SBU press center said on Thursday.
The Ukrainian intelligence service claims that an unnamed “FSB representative” allegedly recruited a resident of Khmelnitsky through a page on one of the Russian social networks in January of this year.
“For ideological reasons, she agreed to cooperate with the Russian intelligence service,” the report said.
According to the SBU counterintelligence, the curator of the recruited resident of Khmelnytsky is now in Lugansk, where she occupies a “high position in the so-called “Ministry of State Security of the LPR.”
