After some time, his FSB handler gave a new assignment: to carry out a series of arson attacks on vehicles of the Defence Forces and Ukrzaliznytsia [Ukrainian railways] facilities.

Following the occupiers’ instructions, the perpetrator made an incendiary device using flammable mixtures, a detonator and a remote control module.

At a certain time, the agent was to place the device under a vehicle of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and remotely activate it.

Before committing the attack, he checked the device near a railway track and informed his russian handler.

In case of successful destruction of the potential target, the asset was to continue to destroy defenders’ vehicles and railway relay cabinets.

The SSU cyber units uncovered the traitor at an early stage, documented his crimes and detained him.

According to the investigation, the enemy agent is a 48-year-old locksmith from a local enterprise with a practical knowledge of chemistry.
