The FSB announced that the Ukrainian spy Yuri Permyakov was disclosed in the Krasnodar Territory. This is reported by Interfax.
It is claimed that the taxi driver Permyakova was recruited by the SBU Office in the Lugansk region. The task of the taxi driver was assembled information about the movement of troops and military equipment in the south of Russia, as well as information about strategic enterprises. Permyakov, who received the agent pseudonym Vova, after recruitment repeatedly visited Russia.
After the detention, the Ukrainian taxi driver gave a confession. There was no case against him, because, the FSB explained, a person who "initiatively informed the security authorities about his recruiting by foreign special services," is exempted from criminal liability under an article on espionage. Permyakov expelled from Russia with a ban on entering the country in the future.
As the Ukrainian Pravda reports , the SBU press secretary Elena Gitlyanskaya statement of the FSB denied. “In Russia, some people are constantly delayed and they accuse them of espionage in favor of Ukraine, but this is not true,” she said.
On September 24, the Russian special service announced the detention of Ukrainian Sergei Stefanenko in the Kuban, who came to Russia and work. He was also accused of espionage and expelled.
