Three relatives were sentenced for carrying out tasks for Russian special services in Kyiv and the Kyiv region. According to the prosecutor's office, they collected information about military and strategic facilities, as well as carried out arsons at energy infrastructure facilities.
Under the procedural guidance of prosecutors from the Office of the General Prosecutor and with the public accusation supported by the Kagarlyk Department of the Obukhiv Local Prosecutor's Office, the court found three men who carried out tasks for Russian special services.
As prosecutors proved, in 2023 year 36-year-old man established contact via Telegram with a representative of the Russian FSB, who used the name “Nikolai.” For a monetary reward he agreed to collect reconnaissance data, coordinated the execution of the assigned tasks, and attracted two relatives to this activity.
His 31-year-old brother conducted reconnaissance in Kyiv. He photographed military and strategic facilities, recorded their locations, entrances and exits, and the presence of military personnel and equipment. To carry out covert surveillance, the man rented premises, presenting them as a photo studio.
The obtained information he forwarded to his brother, who sent it to the Russian curator.
In February and March 2024 year the men also gathered information about the locations of military units, defense-sector enterprises, military equipment, and air defense assets in the capital.
Another relative, 23-year-old, was recruited for sabotage at energy infrastructure facilities in Kyiv region. Together with 36-year-old man, he arsoned energy facilities under the tasks of the Russian curator.
They filmed the arson acts and sent them to the FSB representative as evidence of the completed task. After that they received money.
In June 2024 year the men were preparing another sabotage. They conducted reconnaissance of a substation near Rzhyshchiv, found out the features of its protection and technical security, took photographs, and handed the collected materials to the curator.
The men were detained in 19 June 2024 year. During the trial, prosecutors proved their guilt.
Depending on each person's role, the actions of the convicted were qualified as high treason and sabotage committed by prior agreement of a group of persons, as well as illegal handling of explosive devices and illegal storage of narcotics—according to Part 2 Article 28, Part 2 Article 111; Part 2 Article 28, Part 2 Article 113; Part 1 Article 263; Part 2 Article 309 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
The 36-year-old and the 31-year-old men were sentenced to life imprisonment with confiscation of property. The 23-year-old was also sentenced to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property.
