After the start of a full-scale war, a staff member of the FSB approached him remotely and offered cooperation. Then the agent received the task: to collect information about the Ukrainian defenders and transfer them to the curator from the Russian Federation.

The enemy was most interested in possible firing positions of rocket salvo systems and barrel artillery of the Armed Forces, in particular foreign M777 howitzers

If intelligence was received, the agent would first pass it on to the occupiers and then arrive in the area of ​​the potential target to adjust fire in real time.

For communication, he used an anonymous chat in the messenger.

On the basis of the materials collected by the investigators of the Security Service, the court found the man guilty of ch. 2 Art. 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (treason committed under martial law).
