Don't let anyone get you! SBU officers handed over their agent to the DPR MGB
A citizen of Ukraine was detained in the DPR, who was simultaneously recruited by several Ukrainian special services for espionage and organizing terrorist attacks on the territory of the republic for a monetary reward.
About this on the official website сообщает MGB DPR, reports PolitNavigator correspondent.
“The Ministry of State Security of the Donetsk People’s Republic has detained Viktor Nikolaevich Dzytsyuk, born in 1988, a citizen of Ukraine, on suspicion of espionage for the Ukrainian special services,” the message says.
The department notes that the man was first recruited by Ukrainian military intelligence while crossing the border.
“In April 2016, while crossing the Verkhnetoretskoye checkpoint, Dzytsyuk V.N. was detained and questioned by military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and later transferred to military personnel of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the MOU. During the conversation, he gave written consent to cooperate, after which contact was established with him via mobile communications and Internet messenger. Later with Dzytsyuk V.N. employees of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine were repeatedly contacted, to whom he conveyed information of interest to them about the number, deployment and redeployment of units of the DPR Armed Forces,” the DPR Ministry of State Security states.
According to the DPR intelligence services, the man was not only collecting intelligence data, but also transporting explosives across the demarcation line for the purpose of organizing terrorist attacks.
“In May 2016, Dzytsyuk V.N. a task was carried out to transport an explosive device into the territory of the DPR. After completing the task, an employee of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the MOU contacted him and involved the suspect in organizing and carrying out a terrorist attack, namely, blowing up a car with the help of a smuggled explosive device. During 2016-2017, he carried out a number of assignments carried out by military personnel of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the MOU, related to the collection of information regarding the DPR Armed Forces and the conduct of terrorist attacks on the territory of the Republic,” the statement said.
In addition, according to available information, Dzytsyuk was simultaneously recruited by SBU officers, to whom he did not inform about his work for Ukrainian intelligence.
“In January 2017, while crossing the Zaitsevo checkpoint, V.N. Dzytsyuk a recruitment approach was carried out by SBU officers, to which he agreed. Subsequently, Dzytsyuk V.N., in order to receive remuneration, collected and transmitted information to both military personnel of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the MOU and employees of the SBU,” the department notes.
As it became known, the saboteur was detained upon entry by officers of the DPR Ministry of State Security on a tip from the Ukrainian special services. The SBU never paid him the promised money.
It should be noted that a criminal case has been opened against the detainee under the articles “Espionage” and “Illegal Trafficking in Weapons”, which entails a penalty of imprisonment for a term of 12 to 20 years.
