Details: According to the investigators, a 32-year old displaced person, who lived in Sumy Oblast since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, was mobilised for the duration of martial law in November 2022.

Serving in the supplying unit as a driver, the man systematically visited the positions of the Ukrainian Army, in particular in eastern Ukraine.

Supporting pro-Russian ideas, he colluded with the FSB, supplying the Russians with Google-coordinates of the location of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and ammunition storage points, collected personal data of the military instructors and "studied" in secrecy the defence system of the military facility. 

In order to avoid being uncovered after relocation to the territory of Donetsk Oblast, the agent was sending the data to his 46-year old accomplice, who in turn provided it to FSB.

In eastern Ukraine, his main interests were location and travel routes of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the areas of the cities of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk.

His accomplice was given appropriate training and started to investigate the location of Ukrainian units in the Black Sea region. Above all, he was aiming at finding the location of ammunition storage points. In order to do this, he secretly explored the area and monitored Ukrainian military facilities. 

Both criminals have sent collected data to the aggressor through closed communication channels in a form of electronic coordinates with an additional description of the area. 

In addition, they actively searched for the "like-minded people" for their subsequent recruitment and cooperation with the FSB. Their main attention was directed at former soldiers and women, who lived in frontline areas in eastern and southern Ukraine. 

Both traitors were detained by counterintelligence officers of the Ukrainian Security Service while trying to inform the Russians on 30 January 2023. 

Their mobile phones with evidence of criminal activity were seized. Detainees have been notified of suspicion, and the issue of selecting preventive measures in the form of detention is being resolved.
