Volodymyr Samoilov, a townsman, was recruited on the eve of the second attack of the enemy in the Kharkiv region. With the beginning of the fighting for Vovchansk, he received instructions from the occupiers to stay in the city despite constant shelling from the russian side.

Subsequently, he began to spy on the location of fortified areas, firing positions, repair bases and warehouses with ammunition of the Armed Forces. The occupiers used this information to attack Ukrainian defenders.

The SBU found the agent and detained him. He faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.

In Donetsk, the former head of the DPR's Olenivka colony, Sergey Evsyukov, was killed. His wife’s leg was blown off, according to russian media.

Between Feb 2022 and the end of July 2022, he organized the torture of more than 100 captured soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Yevsyukov was also suspected because of the deaths of Ukrainian soldiers during a terrorist attack in the Olenivska colony. At least 50 servicemen were killed in the prison.

At the same time, 9 of them died because they were not provided with emergency medical care. Almost 150 were injured.

1. On December 14, the SBU, together with the Tavria Special Operations Command, the Ukrainian Special Operations Command, conducted a unique multi-stage special operation. The goal was to cut off the logistical routes of fuel supplies from Crimea to the temporarily occupied territories of Zaporizhia.

Initially, the 13th Main Directorate of the Military Counterintelligence Department of the SBU organized a sabotage operation to blow up the tracks while a train with tanks was moving near the village of Alekseyevka, Bilmatsky district.

When it stopped and part of the tanks began to burn, the HIMARS MLRS of the Tavria military unit came into play. The missiles hit the locomotive and the end cars so that the enemy could not stretch the tanks and save some of the fuel.

As a result of the special operation, a locomotive and 40 tank cars were destroyed, and an important railway line that supplied russian troops was put out of action for a long time.

2. The explosion occurred on December 14 in the railway district of Ulyanovsk, on a line near the Sviyaga River, a few kilometers from the local locomotive depot and the Ulyanovsk Motor Plant.

A bomb hidden in an electric scooter has killed a senior general in charge of nuclear protection forces in Moscow, Russia’s investigative committee said.

Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, who was chief of the Troops of Radiological, Chemical and Biological Defence, was killed on Tuesday outside an apartment building on Ryazansky Prospekt.

“Igor Kirillov, the head of the radiation, chemical and biological protection forces of the armed forces of the Russian Federation, and his assistant were killed,” the investigative committee said.

Al Jazeera’s Maria Shapovalova reporting from Moscow said according to residents, there was a lack of surveillance cameras in the area where the attack took place.

“Residents of the residential complex where the explosive device went off … have been complaining for years about the lack of normal video surveillance. The cameras were not recording what was happening … on those block of flats,” she said.

According to a law enforcement official, the explosive device “had a capacity of some 300 grams in TNT equivalent”, Russian outlet Tass news agency reported.

Photographs posted on Russian Telegram channels showed a shattered entrance to a building littered with rubble and two bodies lying in the blood-stained snow.

A criminal case has been opened.

Russia’s radioactive, chemical and biological defence troops are special forces who operate under conditions of radioactive, chemical and biological contamination.

On Monday, Ukrainian prosecutors charged Kirillov in absentia with the alleged use of banned chemical weapons in Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine said, according to the Kyiv Independent.

Russia denies those accusations.

In October, the United Kingdom sanctioned Kirillov and the nuclear protection forces for using riot control agents and multiple reports of the use of the toxic agent chloropicrin on the battlefield.

Chloropicrin is an oily liquid with a pungent odour known as a choking agent that was widely used during World War I as a form of tear gas. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) specifically prohibits its use.

Russia has said it no longer possesses a military chemical arsenal but the country faces pressure for more transparency over the alleged use of toxic weapons.

Ukraine’s Security Service, the SBU, said it had recorded more than 4,800 uses of chemical weapons on the battlefield, particularly K-1 combat grenades, since February 2022.
