SBU operations: important news

The day before, the SBU detained two Russian GRU agents in Kyiv who were preparing a series of attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities. It was noted that the agents traveled to the locations of these facilities, after which they transferred data about them to Russia.

In March 2025, the Russian Federation blew up two of its own agents in Ivano-Frankivsk , they turned out to be boys aged 15 and 17. According to the SBU, the boys received instructions from Russia on how to create an improvised explosive device. On the way to the facility where the boys were to plant the explosives, the Russian special service activated a bomb in their package.
