Using SBU evidence materials, a traitor who spied for the FSB in Mykolaiv received 15 years in prison

Thanks to the evidence base of the Security Service, another FSB agent who collected intelligence on the Defense Forces in the Mykolaiv Region received a prison term.

The attacker tried to establish the exact coordinates of the base of Ukrainian defenders defending the regional center.

First of all, he was interested in the geolocations of fortified areas and firing positions of units of the Armed Forces.

Intelligence information was needed by the aggressor to prepare targeted air attacks on the city using Shahed-type kamikaze drones.

The security service detained the attacker in February 2023, when he tried to pass intelligence on the location of defense facilities to the occupiers.

The court sentenced him to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property.

As the investigation established, the traitor is a resident of the village of Vradiivka, who was recruited by the FSB through the banned Vkontakte social network.

He came to the attention of the Russian special services as an active user of Russian Internet resources, where he wrote comments in support of an aggressive war against Ukraine.

It was established that the attacker communicated with the FSB through its "liaison" from the temporarily occupied part of the territory in the east of Ukraine.

In order to carry out enemy tasks, the agent drove around the area in his own car and secretly recorded the "necessary" objects on the phone camera.

During the search of his apartment, computer equipment and a phone with evidence of intelligence and subversive activities in favour of the Russian Federation were seized.
