Based on evidence collected by the Security Service, another enemy agent who adjusted russian air strikes on eastern Ukraine has been sentenced to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property.

The SSU Counterintelligence detained him in August 2024. A smartphone, which he used to transmit coordinates to the enemy for missile and artillery strikes on Kramatorsk, was seized from the perpetrator.

Among the main targets were hospitals and other medical facilities where wounded Ukrainian soldiers were treated after fighting on the eastern front.

The enemy agent was a 48-year-old local unemployed man, recruited by the occupiers on the banned social network VKontakte, where he expressed his support for the ruscists.

The traitor was in contact with an employee of russia's ministry of defence who cooperates with the russian special services. Her identity has already been established by the SSU.

Following the occupiers' instructions, the asset walked around the area and tried to identify and transmit the coordinates of installations, in particular medical facilities with large concentrations of Ukrainian defenders.

Based on evidence collected by SSU investigators, 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 Office in Donetsk and Luhansk regions under the procedural supervision of Donetsk Region Prosecutor's Office.
