FSB publishes audio recording of Ukrainian agent's briefing by his wife

The Federal Security Service (FSB) published on Thursday, December 26, an audio recording of a Ukrainian agent preparing an assassination attempt on a Russian serviceman being briefed by his wife.

"Everything is normal, there are nuances. On Friday, he will first contact me, then I will contact you - that's the way it is. You come out, he will just tell you where," the detainee's wife said in the audio recording.

According to her, the Ukrainian agent will need to "come out and do what is due." She noted that he would be paid for his actions.

On the same day, the FSB foiled terrorist attacks by Ukraine's intelligence services against high-ranking Russian military officers and their families. Four Russian citizens were detained during operational-search activities.

During searches, law enforcers found IEDs and means of communication with the defendants. Special services of Ukraine delivered components for explosive devices to Russia in tools, car parts and household appliances. Criminal cases were opened on this fact.
