Two FSB agents, a psychotherapist and a deacon of the UOC (MP), who were collecting data on the Ukrainian military, were detained in Kharkiv. The offenders used patients and parishioners to obtain information about the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

According to the SBU, the offenders tried to establish the location of personnel and military equipment of the Defense Forces. They also collected personal data of the Ukrainian military and their routes in Kharkiv.

The doctor, according to the SBU, secretly used his patients, including military personnel undergoing rehabilitation after combat operations, to obtain information. He involved his close acquaintance, a deacon of the local cathedral of the Kharkiv diocese of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Moscow Patriarchate, in cooperation with the FSB, who quietly solicited the necessary information from parishioners.

The doctor, as indicated, transmitted the information to the Russian curator via messenger, using a separate phone and a SIM card hidden in the mailbox.

Despite the secrecy measures, the SBU documented their crimes and detained them at their places of residence. Counterintelligence established that the doctor had been a “sleeper agent” of the FSB for some time, activated in the spring of 2024.

During the searches, mobile phones and computer equipment with evidence of their activities were seized.
