According to him, an assistant to the leaders of the so-called "DPR," who was responsible for media promotion and information support of terrorist activities, was detained in Dnipropetrovsk region.

"In Mykolaiv region, SBU officers detained three Russian soldiers in Voznesensk district, who were hiding in abandoned buildings near the regional center. It was established that they were part of an enemy group that took part in attempts to seize Pivdennoukrainska nuclear power plant," the SBU spokesperson said.

He said that these invaders also fired at the places of residence of civilians in the region.

In Luhansk region, as Dekhtiarenko said, the chair of the court in the temporarily occupied Novoaidarsk was exposed on high treason and assistance to the aggressor.

"In Kyiv region, the SBU identified a number of occupiers who committed atrocities in the occupied territories of Kyiv region. Among others, these are servicemen of the 15th brigade of the central military district of Russia.
