Quote: "A Russian citizen, who had a Ukrainian temporary residence permit, turned out to be a Russian informant. After the full-scale Russian invasion in Ukraine started, he used his personal connections to get in touch with representatives of the Russian secret services.
He added photos and videos of the relevant locations to his georeferenced intelligence."
Details: In particular, the perpetrator collected information about the Ukrainian artillery which is destroying Russian storage facilities.
The Russians were planning to use this data to launch high-precision missile attacks on units of the Defence Forces of Ukraine.
It is reported, however, that the Security Service of Ukraine quickly identified and arrested the Russian agent.
