According to SBU materials 15 years in prison was received by a Russian agent who posed as an SBU officer and adjusted strikes on Ochakiv

On the evidentiary basis of the SBU 15 years imprisonment with confiscation of property was received by another Russian agent in the Mykolaiv region.

The perpetrator posed as the “deputy head of the regional department of the Service” and adjusted Russian shelling of Ochakiv.

For concealment he wore tactical clothing and used a forged SBU ID that he made himself.

It was established that the agent recorded the locations of the Defense Forces, against which the Russians prepared strikes with tube and rocket artillery from the temporarily occupied Kinburn Spit.

SBU officers exposed the agent in advance and detained him at his place of residence in April 2024.

As the investigation found, the enemy’s assignments were carried out by a resident of Ochakiv who came to the attention of the Russians when he posted anti-Ukrainian comments in Telegram channels.

After recruitment, the traitor received the task of identifying the locations of Ukrainian military bases in the port city and other settlements of the Mykolaiv region.

It was documented how, disguised as a Ukrainian special service officer, the agent drove around the area in his car and recorded the Defense Forces’ locations on his smartphone.

In addition, after Russian strikes he gathered information about the consequences of enemy “hits” to prepare new and adjust repeat attacks by the Russian Federation.

During searches, the perpetrator was found to have clothing, a fake ID, and a mobile phone containing evidence of his work for the enemy.

Based on materials from the Security Service, the agent was found guilty under part 2 of article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (state treason committed under martial law).

Comprehensive measures and the investigation were carried out by officers of the Main Directorate for Internal Security of the SBU together with SBU investigators in the Mykolaiv region under the procedural supervision of the Mykolaiv Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Defense of the Southern Region.
