Security Service of Ukraine detains "Wagner" saboteur

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has detained a militant from the Wagner PMC who was "thrown" into Ukraine by Russian military intelligence to carry out sabotage operations. This is reported by the SBU.

The saboteur was tasked to come from Belarus to the Rivne region to adjust the air attacks of the Russian Federation on the energy infrastructure of Ukraine.

The SBU learnt about the aggressor's plans during the enemy saboteur's stay on the territory of Belarus.

The saboteur was detained "on a hot streak": he tried to fix several GPS trackers on the support of power lines that fed the Kyiv agglomeration.

According to the signals of the "beacons," the occupants wanted to correct the targeted attack on energy facilities, including the use of Shahed kamikaze drones," reported in the special service.

The detainee is a citizen of Belarus. From 2014 to 2017, he was in the terrorist group "l/dnr" and participated in hostilities against the ATO forces in eastern Ukraine.

At the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, the militant joined the Russian private military company "Wagner", and stormed Bakhmut and neighbouring villages.

Subsequently, he returned to Belarus, where he received an assignment from his handler from the Russian military intelligence to prepare sabotage on the border territory of Ukraine.
