A female Russian “spy” has been detained after allegedly leaking information to the enemy as part of a plot to assassinate President Volodymyr Zelensky during his recent trip to the Mokylaiv region, Ukraine’s security service said.that the suspect, who was not publicly identified, “was collecting data for an airstrike during Zelensky’s visit.”
The security service in Mykolaiv was “proactive” and “additional security measures were taken during the visit.” The woman had been instructed to identify the location of the Ukrainian military’s “electronic warfare systems” and ammunition depots near Ochakiv, which the SBU claimed the enemy was planning to use to launch a massive airstrike on the region.
The SBU released a photo of the woman with her face blurred, flanked by two security officials at the time of her arrest, along with screenshots of her online exchanges with her alleged Russian handlers and handwritten notes mentioning barracks and a medical unit. “It would be desirable to take photos,” the alleged Russian intelligence officer writes back. “If you’re going to be nearby — that would be very timely. I doubt that photographing a hospital would raise much suspicion.”
