The investigation also revealed that before the start of the full-scale war, the traitor had been living in russia for a long time and even became a participant in the kremlin's program of resettlement to the aggressor country.

Law enforcement officers documented the subversive activities of the offender and detained him at his home in Kharkiv.

During the searches, the detainee was seized of a russian passport, computer equipment and mobile phones with evidence of criminal actions.

In addition, the offender and his possible accomplices were found to have more than UAH 10 million (USD 243,000), allegedly received for cooperation with the occupiers.
