The Ukraine Security Service (SBU) announced on Friday that for the first time in the history of Ukraine, it revealed an alleged Hungarian intelligence network.
The SBU indicated that it had identified and neutralized a network of associate agent with Hungarian military information.
“This is the first case in the modern history of the country when the spy activities of a foreign intelligence service from an EU country at the expense of Ukrainian security have been officially registered,” said SBU in his statement on Telegram.
Two people who were part of the intelligence network were held.
One of them was a former 40 -year -old soldier recruited in 2021 in the Begegivskyy district in Zakarpattia, near the border with Hungary.
The SBU says that in September 2024, he began to follow the instructions of his manager – an officer of Hungarian military intelligence, whose identity has already been established.
The agent has collected information on the Ukrainian forces in the region, recorded the coordinates of anti -aircraft systems and tried to find the details of the defense systems.
In addition, he was interested in the availability of weapons on the black market and would have planned to extend the agent network by recruiting new informants.
According to the SBU survey, he then crossed the border in Hungary using a care certificate declaring that his father needed medical treatment abroad.
During a personal meeting in Hungary, the agent received money and special equipment from his manager – a mobile phone with an encrypted communication channel. He then continued to transmit data, including information on official movements and the transport of security forces and the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The second detainee was a former official of the Ukrainian defense forces, who, according to the SBU, has transmitted information on the plane fleet and the defense systems of its former foreign intelligence unit.
The SBU said that the suspects had been detained at their place of residence and that phones and other evidence had been seized during the search.
The SBU has published an apocalypse video on YouTube. The video is in Ukrainian, but from the third minute, the accused can be heard of Hungarian.
