Based on the evidentiary basis provided by counterintelligence and investigators of the Security Service, a Russian agent whom the SBU exposed in October 2024 of the year in Mykolaiv received 15 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property. The culprit turned out to be an engineer-designer at one of the local defense plants who tried to pass to the FSB information about secret military developments.
It was established that for the recruitment of this defendant, the FSB involved a former colleague of the official who has been living in Russia since the “zero” years.
According to the investigation, the enemy was interested in the technical documentation on the production of state-of-the-art gas-turbine engines, which the Russian occupiers hoped to use for the needs of the Russian defense-industrial complex.
Under the supervisor’s instruction, the agent was to photograph the secret documents with a phone camera and transfer the files to Russia via a messenger.
In addition, the traitor simultaneously was recording locations of temporary deployment of the Defense Forces and probing the technical condition of energy facilities that the Russians were preparing missile- and drone-attacks against.
For this, he personally drove around the outskirts of Mykolaiv and noted geolocations of potential “targets” in his smartphone.
It was established that for concealment the agent created an anonymous email and deleted correspondence after each session of communication with the supervisor.
Counterintelligence officers of the SBU gradually documented the criminal activity of the traitor and detained him at his own residence.
During searches, computer equipment and mobile phones with proof of cooperation with the enemy were seized from him.
According to materials from the Security Service of Ukraine, the court found the agent guilty under Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (high treason committed under martial law).
The investigation was conducted by SBU officers in the Mykolaiv region under the procedural guidance of the Mykolaiv Specialized Prosecutor’s Office in the Defense sphere of the Southern region.
