On his guidance, the Russian invaders carried out a series of missile attacks on the city in April and May of this year. Then, as a result of enemy shelling, 3 local residents were killed. Also, 30 private houses were destroyed and one of the industrial enterprises of the region was damaged, the SBU reports.
According to investigators, the Russians’ henchman turned out to be an ardent supporter of communism, who received six years in prison in 2001 for planning a coup d’état in Ukraine.
After his release, he joined the local cell of the banned Communist Party and in 2015 was a deputy of the Zaporozhye City Council for almost half a year. He was also an active member of the pro-Kremlin organizations Union of Soviet Officers and the Immortal Regiment. At the end of 2022, he was recruited by a career FSB officer.
The pro-Russian agent even formed his own informant network in Zaporozhye from former party members. Through them, he received information about operating industrial enterprises and the technical condition of critical infrastructure. Then the traitor personally went to the area and made photo and video recording of Ukrainian objects. He passed the information he received to Russia, and after enemy strikes he reported on their consequences to the FSB.
SBU investigators informed him of suspicion under part 2 of article 111 of the Criminal Code (state treason committed under martial law).
