According to the investigation, the hostile spotter turned out to be a resident of Kropyvnytskyi. To complete the task, he tried to install a webcam at one of the bridges in order to record the “schedules” of the movement of military echelons.
In the event of detection of Ukrainian Armed Forces rolling stock, the defendant had to transmit their coordinates online to the aggressor to prepare a targeted strike on the railway line.
Thus, the enemy hoped to disrupt the supply of Ukrainian weapons and ammunition to the front lines of the eastern and southern fronts.
However, SBU officers acted proactively and caught the Russian informant red-handed when he tried to install a webcam near the track.
During the search, the attacker’s mobile phone was confiscated, to which he planned to attach a video device to track the movement of the trains.
SBU investigators informed him of suspicion under Part 3 of Art. 114-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (unauthorized dissemination of information about the direction, movement of weapons, weapons and ammunition to Ukraine, movement, movement or deployment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine or other military formations formed in accordance with the laws of Ukraine, committed under martial law).
The attacker is in custody. He faces up to 12 years in prison.
