**Russian Agent Arrested in Ukraine**
A suspected Russian agent has been detained by Ukrainian security forces. The woman is accused of orchestrating an explosion near a war veteran’s home and poisoning a soldier.
According to the investigation, the suspect was an IT specialist from Kharkiv who was recruited by Russian intelligence services. She allegedly built explosive devices with metal fragments to cause maximum harm. One of these devices was hidden in a cache and placed near the veteran’s home, causing injuries.
The woman is also accused of poisoning a soldier while pretending to be a volunteer. She allegedly laced food and medicine with toxic substances, leaving the serviceman in serious condition.
**How It Happened**
Investigators believe Russian intelligence operatives approached the suspect before the full-scale invasion when she was visiting relatives in Russia. By early 2025, she was receiving direct instructions from her handlers.
The court has ordered the woman’s detention without bail while the case proceeds. Authorities are now investigating her potential involvement in other crimes.
