According to the SBU, the GRU agent was most interested in intelligence information about sabotage and reconnaissance raids of Ukrainian special forces behind the front line in Zaporizhzhya, Kherson and Crimean directions.

To carry out the assigned task, the mole used his official position to obtain information about the planned routes of the movement of Ukrainian soldiers, their weapons and "targets".

The defendant was informed about the charges of treason committed under martial law. He faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.

The Command of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed the information about the detention of the "mole" who passed the plans of special operations to Russia.
