Two "Artan" servicemen detained near Kravchenko's probable residence in Vienna

According to Austrian law enforcement agencies, two servicemen were detained in the Austrian capital after being found near a residential complex where former Prosecutor General of Ukraine Ruslan Kravchenko was suspected to be staying.

Circumstances of the incident

As reported by UP journalist Mykhailo Tkach, the incident occurred two days before the detention of the publication's employees. Austrian police found two individuals near an elite residential complex where Kravchenko was suspected to be staying. According to local investigation materials, the detainees had military ID cards with them, as well as special equipment, including hidden cameras and trackers.

Confirmation of status

During the check, both men immediately declared their affiliation with the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Viktor Torkotyk, the commander of the GUR special unit "Artan", also provided confirmation of the detainees' status to Austrian special services. It is known that one of them previously held a position in the external observation unit of the NABU.

Mykhailo Tkach notes that the circumstances of this operation appear atypical for a standard covert intelligence mission.
