The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) revealed on Friday that officers had detained a Ukrainian intelligence agent in Kursk for spying on military facilities.
"The unlawful activities of a resident of the city of Kursk, a Ukrainian citizen, who is an agent of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, suspected of involvement in the collection and transfer on the instructions of foreign intelligence of information about objects of the [Russian] defense ministry for use against the security of Russia, were stopped," the FSB said in a statement.
According to the statement, special technical tools given to him by the Ukrainian special agency were seized in his apartment.
This comes in light of the recent assassination of Darya Dugina, the daughter of Russian political philosopher and analyst Alexander Dugin, who died in a car bombing prepared and executed by Ukraine's special services, as revealed by Russia's FSB.
The Russian Investigative Committee determined that an explosive device was hidden beneath the car's floor on the driver's side. The FSB revealed that Ukrainian citizen Vovk Natalya was behind the murder.
"The crime was prepared and committed by the Ukrainian special services. The performer is a citizen of Ukraine Vovk Natalya ... born in 1979, who arrived in Russia on July 23, 2022, together with her daughter ... In order to organize the murder of D. Dugina and obtain information about her lifestyle, they rented an apartment in Moscow in the house where the deceased lived," the FSB said.
