Details: According to the agency, the Ukrainian was recruited by Federal Security Service officers through a closed pro-Russian group on a messaging app. It was suggested that he could easily "earn extra money". For providing information, the spotter asked for 20,000 UAH. 

Quote from Security Service of Ukraine: "The informant wanted to get the money as soon as possible, so he actively interacted with the "customer": after an airstrike on one of the bridges in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, he personally checked the accuracy of the hit."

Details: the Security Service of Ukraine published the "customer’s" correspondence with the spotter. 

The spotter was detained while trying to move to territory not controlled by Ukraine. He was taken into custody.
