The department said the network was allegedly organized by a former deputy head of the SBU's regional department, who entered Russia in 2014 and was allegedly received by a Russian special service there.

The spy network also included a police officer, a public prosecutor's office, a local government representative and an emergency officer.

The group allegedly hired Ukrainian citizens and transferred to Russia information about military units, the work of law enforcement agencies and the socio-political situation in the Kherson region. They received a reward for their services and the groups were allegedly supervised by a Moscow curator – an FSB career officer.

In early June, it became clear that Ukrainian citizen Aleksey Semenyaka, who had worked with the SBU, had been expelled from Russia. The man was barred from entering the country for 25 years on charges of intelligence and subversion.

The Ukrainian himself did not deny the fact of connection with special services, but said that he did not see anything reprehensible in this.
