Quote: "A woman used her connections in Kharkiv to collect information about locations and travel routes of personnel and military equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and to hand it over to Russians. Her accomplice worked for one of the power supply companies and had access to buildings and facilities, so he abused his power to freely discover the places where Ukrainian troops were located".

Details: The intelligence service said that the Ukrainians agreed to collaborate with the occupiers "due to ideological views". One of their main tasks was to obtain current passwords used at the Ukrainian checkpoints. The collaborators sent the information to Russians using messenger apps.

The investigators accused the culprits of violating Article 28, Part 2 and Article 111, Part 2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (high treason). They will be detained for 60 days with no right for bail.
