Ukraine Detains Six Accused Of Guiding Russian Strikes

Six people accused of helping Russia strike an apartment building in the eastern Donetsk region have been detained and charged with treason, Ukraine’s SBU security service said Wednesday.Russian Iskander missiles struck the city of Pokrovsk on 7 August 2023, killing nine people and injuring dozens of others in an attack that damaged a residential block.

“SBU counter-intelligence neutralised a group of Russian military intelligence agents in the Donetsk region. Six Russian agents were simultaneously detained,” the SBU said. According to the SBU, the suspects were recruited by a “curator from the Russian military intelligence” via pro-Kremlin Telegram channels.

The group also prepared “coordinates for missile strikes” on Ukrainian bases near the city of Avdiivka, which fell to Russian forces after heavy fighting in February, the SBU said.Kyiv is cracking down on those suspected of having aided and abetted invading Russian forces since February 2022, many in its east and south.

The United Nations said last year Ukraine had opened more than 6,600 criminal cases “against individuals for collaboration and other conflict-related crimes” since the war began.
