Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) said it detained a mobilised Ukrainian serviceman in Mykolaiv who was allegedly helping the Russian FSB prepare a missile strike to kill an airborne brigade commander. The SBU said the suspect was arrested while preparing to send his Russian handler the coordinates of a military facility where the colonel commander was expected to be present. The SBU said the suspect was recruited after attracting Russian intelligence attention while seeking romantic relationships on Telegram dating channels, and that as a driver he gathered information on the brigade command's whereabouts. He also allegedly supplied details of Ukrainian facilities that stored and launched long-range attack drones. The SBU said it detected the plot in advance, secured the locations of airborne troops, and arrested him at his unit, where investigators found messages to the handler. The operation was run by SBU military counterintelligence with Ukraine's military intelligence agency (HUR). He faces a high treason charge under martial law, is held without bail, and faces life imprisonment and property confiscation if convicted.
