Ukrainian Minors Allegedly Recruited for Espionage Activities

/ 1 min read

🎭 Ukrainian minors recruited by Russian FSB for espionage activities. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has uncovered a new espionage campaign allegedly orchestrated by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), involving the recruitment of Ukrainian minors for criminal tasks disguised as “quest games.” Two groups of children, aged 15 and 16, were detained in Kharkiv after conducting reconnaissance and providing information used for airstrikes. The minors were instructed to take photos and videos of military targets, which were then shared with Russian intelligence via anonymous chats. The SBU has arrested all members of these groups, including a police officer linked to the FSB, who faces serious charges. Additionally, Ukraine’s CERT-UA has reported new cyber attacks targeting defense companies and security forces attributed to a Russia-linked actor.
