President Volodymyr Zelensky was allegedly targeted in a Russian conspiracy, according to the security agency of Ukraine, which said Monday that it had apprehended an informant.
The detained lady, according to the SBU security service, was gathering information in an effort to learn Zelensky's schedule before his travel to the southern Mykolaiv area.
It also shared several phone texts and scribbled notes concerning military operations, as well as a blurry picture of the woman being held by masked officers in a kitchen.
It alleged the suspect was helping Russia prepare a “massive air strike on the Mykolaiv region.” She was allegedly seeking data on the location of electronic warfare systems and warehouses with ammunition.
Ukraine regularly accuses local residents who support Russia of passing information to help Moscow’s military.
Zelensky said on Telegram Monday that the head of the SBU had updated him about the “fight against traitors.”
Zelensky visited the Mykolaiv region in June after it was hit by flooding caused by the Kakhovka dam breach and in July after shelling.
The SBU said that Ukraine was aware of the plot ahead of time and put in additional security measures during Zelensky’s visit.
