The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) has detained a group of Kremlin accomplices in several regions of Ukraine. They were attempting to establish a so-called insurgent movement, reports the Security Service of Ukraine.
Law enforcement officers have neutralized the subversive activities of the pro-Kremlin organization Workers' Front of Ukraine. According to the investigation, the perpetrators, under the guise of spreading neo-communist ideas, were inciting Ukrainians to rise up against the government and lay down their arms in front of the Russians.
The suspects called on men of conscription age to evade mobilization, and urged active servicemen to disobey orders from their commanders and desert their units. They also encouraged defenders to form so-called "soldier committees" to collectively refuse participation in combat operations.
The perpetrators created pages for their group on various social media platforms, where more than 30,000 users followed them. The group members actively pasted propaganda leaflets with QR codes for the enemy organization and calls to disrupt the mobilization on the streets of cities.
Every day, they visited at least 30 addresses, placing "agitational" leaflets on bulletin boards or directly on the walls of buildings.
To print their propaganda materials, the criminals set up underground "print shops" in their own residences.
