Ukraine Thwarts Russian Special Forces Mole Operation
A Ukrainian lieutenant colonel, commanding a special operations unit, has been arrested for treason. The officer, acting as a Russian GRU mole since spring 2024, provided intelligence on Ukrainian operations in southern Ukraine, enabling Russian forces to target Ukrainian personnel. This intelligence included planned movements, weaponry, and targets of Ukrainian special forces. The SBU, with assistance from Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi, apprehended the suspect, seizing communication and data storage devices. He faces a life sentence if convicted.
