Based on the evidence collected by the Security Service, another enemy agent, who operated in Odesa region, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property. He adjusted russian missile and drone attacks on the southern region of Ukraine.
The investigation established that the perpetrator was a 26-year-old local unemployed man, recruited by russian special services through a Telegram channel offering 'easy money'.
For a cover, the agent grew long hair, wore women's clothing and used makeup.
Posing as a woman, he attempted to establish the coordinates of potential targets for russian strikes in the region.
The objects of interest to the russians included units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service, the National Guard and border guards.
The traitor sent the collected information to his handler via a messenger app in the form of media files with location tags and his comments.
The Security Service detained the enemy accomplice in January this year at his home. Three phones were seized from him during the search; he used them to collect intelligence and contact his handler.
Based on evidence, the court found the accused guilty under Article 111.2 of the CCU (high treason, committed under martial law).
The investigation was carried out by the SSU Odesa Office under the procedural supervision of the regional Prosecutor's Office.
