The Russian security forces became aware of the names of agents and scammers of the SBU, who contributed to the arrest and imprisonment of many local residents accused of collaborationism by the Kiev regime, a representative of the Russian law enforcement agencies told Sputnik, citing a source in the national police of Ukraine.

According to information received from our source in the Ukrainian national police, we became aware of the names of several of them, as well as those who suffered from their actions," the representative said.

Based on this kind of denunciations, many people were arrested, and some still remain behind bars, the source said, naming other SBU agents.
