Based on evidence collected by the Security Service, another FSB informant, who operated in southern Ukraine, has been sentenced to prison. The perpetrator adjusted russian missile and drone strikes on Mykolaiv and Odesa.
Among the enemy's targets were backup command posts and logistics centers of the Defense Forces in the port cities.
According to the investigation, the spotter is 47-year-old former law enforcement officer from Mykolaiv, who carried out orders of russian special services.
To adjust russian combined strikes, the informant marked the geolocations of Ukrainian defenders on Google Maps and periodically tracked the consequences of enemy attacks.
The spy passed the collected data to Sergei Lebedev (also known as 'Lokhmatyi'), who is hiding in Donetsk and works for the FSB and russian military intelligence.
Cyber units and SSU investigators documented the traitor's crimes and detained him in November 2023 at his home. Action was taken to protect the locations of the Defense Forces.
During searches, a phone was seized from the perpetrator with evidence of his contacts with the russian agent 'Lokhmatyi'.
Based on the SSU's investigation, the accused was found guilty under Article 114-2.3 of the CCU (unauthorized dissemination of information on the movement or location of the AFU or other lawful military formations, committed under martial law).
Given his cooperation with the investigation, the court sentenced the culprit to 10 years in prison.
The investigation was carried out by the SSU Office in Mykolaiv region under the procedural supervision of regional Prosecutor's Office.
