A Ukrainian policeman was exposed in collaboration with the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
This was stated by a representative of the SBU counterintelligence, the department’s press service reports.
“The illegal activities of an agent of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have been stopped. In particular, on April 9, in Kharkov, counterintelligence officers, under the procedural guidance of the prosecutor’s office of the Kharkov region, detained a citizen of Ukraine, an employee of the Main Directorate of the National Police in the Kharkov region,” said Vladimir Nastyuk, a representative of the SBU counterintelligence.
According to the SBU, the policeman “was recruited in Belgorod by a career employee of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the basis of a loyal attitude to the Kremlin’s policies.”
“It was also established that the Russian-military intelligence officer was repeatedly in the temporarily occupied territory of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions as part of the operational groups of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces and actively formed intelligence networks of Ukrainian citizens to carry out various types of reconnaissance and subversive tasks against our state,” – Nastyuk said.
According to him, “to carry out the tasks of a Russian-military intelligence officer, the Ukrainian policeman used his official position to collect and transfer to the Russian side information with limited access that circulates in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the National Police. He also provided the curator with information about the deployment and mobilization readiness of military units and security forces in the Kharkov region, including those involved in the anti-terrorist operation and the Joint Forces operation in eastern Ukraine.”
The SBU also showed “compromising” screenshots of the exposed policeman from the Internet and social networks, indicating that he was involved in filling the database “Nazis and their accomplices in Kharkov,” as well as groups in support of the “Kharkiv People’s Republic” and “Novorossiya.”
