They were accused of inciting residents to “obtain and transmit information on the location and movement of Russian military personnel, military equipment, and other data” through the media and the Telegram channel.
“Ukrainian and Russian citizens involved in these illegal activities were detained by security agents,” continued the FSB, saying that one of the suspects “resisted the weapons and was killed by retaliatory fire .”
Networks of informants, agents, and members of the resistance have been established in southern Ukraine to undermine the work of Russia.
