The Security Service of Ukraine has established the identities of six residents of the capital who illegally disseminated information about the work of air defense forces during the massive Russian attack on Kyiv.
As the Security Service of Ukraine reported, on the night of May 16, they took unauthorized photos and videos of the work of Ukrainian air defense and posted relevant materials on social networks.
In particular, the participants recorded the results of defeating Russian cruise and ballistic missiles. Thus, they could reveal the location and specifics of the work of the domestic air defense.
“In a matter of minutes, these videos were picked up by numerous Telegram channels and Russian propaganda outlets. Among them are Internet resources that are under the control of the special services of the aggressor country,” the special service reported on the consequences of the work of the “bloggers”.
In addition, cyber specialists of the SBU blocked the operation of online cameras that automatically recorded the operation of the Ukrainian air defense.
“According to the investigation, the detected video cameras are on the balance sheet of several commercial structures in the capital. At the same time, access to the captured files was open to a wide range of “users”, who posted the video of the night attack on Kyiv publicly available on YouTube,” the press service of the SBU added.
The information obtained in this way could be used by the occupiers to adjust repeated airstrikes on the capital of Ukraine.
