According to SBU materials 15 years in prison was received by the traitor who, on orders from the GRU of the Russian Federation, adjusted strikes on Kharkiv in the summer of 2023.
Based on the evidentiary base of counterintelligence and investigators of the Security Service 15 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property was received by another agent of Russian military intelligence (better known as the GRU). SBU officers exposed him in July 2023 while he was adjusting missile strikes on Kharkiv.
As the investigation found, direction of enemy fire was carried out by a local unemployed man recruited by the rashists.
He came into the view of the Russian special service when he posted anti-Ukrainian messages in various Telegram channel chats.
After recruitment, the offender gradually walked around the frontline city to identify, record, and pass to his Russian Federation handler the geolocations of the temporary bases of Ukrainian forces.
At the same time, the traitor tried to track the locations and technical condition of defense industries, railway stations, and rolling stock depots.
SBU officers documented the agent’s crimes and detained him “red-handed” while he was conducting reconnaissance near a military facility.
During searches, the detainee’s mobile phones and computer equipment were seized, containing evidence of cooperation with the Russian GRU.
Based on the Security Service’s materials, the court found the offender guilty under part 2 of article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (state treason committed under martial law).
The investigation was conducted by SBU officers in the Rivne region under the procedural supervision of the regional prosecutor’s office.
