The SBU said that the agent was exposed at the initial stage of intelligence and was detained after documenting his activities at his place of residence..

He turned out to be a 42-year-old migrant from the Luhansk region, who, in order to receive “armor” from mobilization, got a job at a critical infrastructure enterprise. He came to the attention of the Russian special services through a relative who lives in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine.

“After remote recruitment, the agent began driving around the western regions of Ukraine in his own car with the DVR turned on, where he recorded the geolocations of strategic objects. He sent the captured videos with the objects to the curator from the GRU,"

During the searches, a smartphone containing evidence of his intelligence and contacts with a curator from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Russian Federation was confiscated from the detainee..

The man has already been charged with treason under martial law, under which he faces life imprisonment. Comprehensive measures to identify and detain the suspect were carried out by SBU officers in the Volyn region under the procedural guidance of the regional prosecutor's office.
