Ukraine's security service (SBU) says it has detained an alleged Russian informant who was allegedly gathering intelligence on the eve of a working trip by President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to the Mykolayiv region. "Members of the SBU caught the traitor red-handed when she was trying to pass intelligence to the invaders," the SBU said on August 7. SBU agents took additional security measures during the visit, the service said. The SBU did not give the name of the suspect, saying only that she is a woman. Zelenskiy visited Mykolayiv at the end of last month. To read the original story by RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service, click here.
