The SBU exposed a network of Russian agents who were preparing to assassinate the President of Ukraine. The group included two colonels of the State Protection Department, who were detained.
The SBU conducted a unique special operation to expose a network of agents of the 5th Service of the Russian Federal Security Service, which was preparing the assassination of the President of Ukraine and top law enforcement officials. The network included two colonels of the State Protection Department.
The network also plans to eliminate SBU Head Malyuk and other security officials, including the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Budanov. The SBU was proactive.
The enemy’s plan was as follows: first, the recruited agent was to observe the movement of the protected person and transmit information to the enemy. The coordinates of the house where the official was supposed to be were to be used to launch a missile strike. Then they were going to attack the people who remained at the site of the attack with a drone. After that, the Russians planned to hit with another missile, including to destroy the traces of the drone.
The agent was provided with weapons by a colonel of the UDO, who personally brought FPV drones, RPG-7 charges, and MON-90 anti-personnel mines to Kyiv. The SBU recorded both the colonel’s trips to another region of Ukraine to get drones and explosives, and conversations between the potential terrorist attacker and his FSB “supervisor.”
The SBU special operation proved that the FSB is a terrorist organization. After all, the liquidation of the Ukrainian leadership was planned by officers of the 9th Directorate of the Operational Information Department of the 5th Service. All of them have been identified. They are Maxim Mishustin, Dmitry Perlin and Alexei Kornev.
In particular, in January 2022, Perlin became the curator of the “moles” who were recruited before Russia’s full-scale invasion. Until then, they had been “supervised” by his colleague Alexei Kornev.
For example, before the outbreak of the full-scale war, Kornev held a series of secret meetings with the colonel of the UDO in neighboring European countries. Funds for agents were also usually transferred abroad.
Currently, they have been notified of suspicion under the following articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:
▪️ para. 2, Art. 111 (high treason committed under martial law);
▪️ part. 1 Art. 14, Part 2 Art. 258 (preparation for a terrorist act).
The suspects have been detained as a measure of restraint. The defendants face life imprisonment.
As it has become known, Colonel Andriy Huk was detained in Koncha Zaspa, where he has a private house of more than 500 square meters. During the search, they found weapons that allegedly disappeared from his parole back on February 24, 22. They also found evidence of work with the Russian special services. The detention took place on Saturday.
The second colonel, Derkach, was detained the same day in Sumy region – he had gone there for Easter.
