A clandestine organization of Russian special services that was adjusting attacks on the city was neutralized in Kherson.
The Security Service of Ukraine reported that all three members of the enemy group were detained.
“Based on their coordinates, the invaders destroyed two private residential buildings in the regional center and damaged five more at the end of September of this year,” the SSU reported.
About 10 civilians received injuries of varying severity as a result of enemy shelling.
According to the investigation, the organizer and head of the local anti-Ukrainian insurgence was a former entrepreneur who defected to the enemy after the capture of the city.
Then he got a job as a “technician” of the occupation “Kherson Railway of the Russian Federation,” where he carried out technological work for the movement of echelons with military equipment.
Working for the invaders, their accomplice came to the attention of the Russian FSS, which soon recruited him.
After the liberation of the city, the traitor “laid low” for a while but later remotely got in touch with his “curator” from the temporarily occupied left bank of the Kherson region and was receiving tasks from him.
On the instructions of the aggressor, he created his own group of informants, which involved two pro-Russian residents of the regional center.
One of them participated in the filming of staged news reports during the capture of the city.
After the creation of the enemy group, its members started to determine the coordinates of buildings and residences in Kherson. The information was transmitted to the aggressor via anonymous messenger apps.
During a search of the detainees’ residences, the SSU found binoculars, mobile phones, and computers used in their criminal activities. The law enforcement also seized pro-Kremlin symbols and Russian rubles, which they received for cooperation with the invaders.
