The occupiers promised their henchman “evacuation” to Russian territory.
In the Kirovograd region, the Security Service exposed an informant of the Russian special services, who collected information about the number of personnel and military equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces units that are moving by rail in the direction of the eastern front.
This was reported by the SBU press center.
Most of all the enemy was interested in information on the transfer of heavy weapons to the Ukrainian front line – tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and artillery systems.
To monitor the trains of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the defendant set up an “observation post” in his own garage, located near the railway station. In addition, he walked around the area and secretly recorded the locations of Ukrainian troops under the guise of an ordinary citizen walking. To disguise criminal actions, the attacker constantly changed the routes of his reconnaissance forays, and sent the information received to the aggressor from different geolocations. However, this did not help him. SBU officers exposed the attacker and detained him in his own home,” the report says.

In May 2023, when the man was still in the Kirovograd region, a representative of the Russian special services contacted him and offered cooperation. The occupants promised their henchman “evacuation” to the territory of the Russian Federation.
To communicate with each other, they used an anonymous chat in a popular messenger.

He is currently in custody. The attacker faces up to 12 years in prison.
