Three Russian agents who helped coordinate air strikes on the city of Odesa have been sentenced to life imprisonment and 15-year prison terms.
According to Ukrinform, this was reported by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).
“Based on evidence collected by the Security Service, prison sentences have been handed down to three Russian agents exposed by the SBU in Odesa in July 2024. The perpetrators operated as part of an organized criminal group within an FSB agent network that coordinated missile and drone attacks on the port city,” the statement said.
The court sentenced the chief agent to life imprisonment with confiscation of property. Two accomplices received 15 years in prison each, also with confiscation of all their assets.
The investigation established that those convicted were two mobilized servicemen recruited by Russia and a female acquaintance from Odesa. Acting on instructions from Russian intelligence, they tracked and transmitted the geolocations of Ukrainian air defense systems protecting the city.
