Video and photos released Oct. 21, 2026 by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU). The SBU says its counter-intelligence detained an 18-year-old Odesa resident in Kyiv who passed Russia the coordinates of a postal logistics terminal in Odesa that was later hit by jet-powered drones in August, tracked air-defence and defence-industry sites in Odesa region and scouted coordinates in Dnipro, then set up a hidden camera disguised as a juice box opposite a Kyiv resident's home to prepare a terrorist attack. It says he was served a notice of suspicion of high treason under martial law and is held without bail; the video shows armed SBU officers detaining him, his face obscured, and the seized camera.
