In April last year,
Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) apprehended two people, suspected of
espionage for Ukrainian military intelligence. The spy group included a
Ukrainian citizen and a Russian Armed Forces servicewoman, who, according to
investigation, handed over a state secret to the Ukrainian military
intelligence in 2017-2018. Criminal cases were initiated against them over
charges of espionage and treason.
During the
investigation, one suspect reportedly disclosed that they created stashes with
explosives and ammo in Crimea under the order of Colonel Oleg Akhmedov of the
Kherson military intelligence division.
According to Russian
counter-intelligence, Akhmedov recruited and curated both suspects, who planned
a number of sabotages on social and military infrastructure on the Russian
territory.
