He received 15 years in prison. SBU counterintelligence officers detained him back in May 2022.
As it turned out, the 55-year-old athlete ran from 10 to 50 km every day to track the bases and routes of the Ukrainian troops. Among the runner’s main tasks was reconnaissance of locations with heavy weapons and ammunition of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
He took covert photos and videos while running, attaching the phone to his hand.
The Russian agent also developed a topographical diagram for the occupiers, in which he indicated the coordinates of Ukrainian checkpoints on the main roads in the region.
He came to the attention of the Russian special services as a former graduate of the Leningrad military school, where he studied under the USSR. Then, until 1992, he served in the Taman division in Russia, and after leaving military service he moved to Ukraine.
According to the Security Service, the court sentenced the FSB agent to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property.
