"In Kyiv, counterintelligence of the SBU, with the assistance of the security unit of Ukroboronprom, exposed an employee of one of the defense enterprises for campaigning in favor of Russia. The plotter publicly justified the war crimes of the occupiers and called on his colleagues to support the enemy's army," the spokesperson of the Ukrainian intelligence service said.

At the same time, Dekhtiarenko said that this employee of the defense enterprise "repeatedly turned to the President of the Russian Federation with a request to grant him Russian citizenship."

"The agitator has been handed with a notice of suspicion. Measures are underway to establish his subversive activities," Dekhtiarenko added.

The prosecutor's office of Kyiv region, in turn, reported on its Telegram channel that an employee of the Antonov State Enterprise is suspected of supporting the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.

According to investigators, during March-April 2022, a resident of Irpen, having pro-Russian sentiments, distributed publications on social networks aimed at supporting the actions of the Russian Federation and justifying its armed aggression against Ukraine.

Also, the spokesperson of the SBU said that according to the materials of the SBU, a citizen of the Russian Federation, who called on residents of Kyiv to cooperate with the enemy, was sentenced to five years in prison.

In Donetsk region, according to Dekhtiarenko, a Russian agent network, which was involved in reconnaissance of the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the eastern front, was rolled up.

Also, according to him, in Kharkiv, the SBU officers exposed two former members of illegal armed groups, and in Lugansk region, based on the materials of the SBU, two commanders of the so-called "LPR," who were captured near Severodonetsk, were sentenced to 8 and 10 years in prison.
