The Security Service of Ukraine has today revealed that six people accused of helping Russia strike an apartment building in the eastern Donetsk region have been detained and charged with treason.

Recall that on 7 August 2023, Russian Iskander missiles struck the city of Pokrovsk killing nine people and injuring dozens of others in an attack that damaged a residential block.

According to the SBU, the suspects were recruited by a curator from the Russian military intelligence via pro-Kremlin Telegram channels, stressing that the group also prepared coordinates for missile strikes on Ukrainian soil near the city of Avdiivka, which fell to Russian forces after heavy fighting in February.

Ukrainian authorities also disclosed that they are working on subduing suspects aiding and abetting Russian forces in the country since February 2022
