The SSU has gathered irrefutable evidence proving the guilt of another russian agent who conducted sabotage and reconnaissance activities against Ukraine.

The offender is a former vice-rector of one of Kyiv’s higher medical educational institutions.

After his dismissal in 2020, the individual moved to the temporarily occupied Crimea, where he was recruited by the FSB.

A month before the start of the full-scale invasion, the man returned to Kyiv to carry out enemy assignments.

As the investigation established, the traitor collected information on the AFU servicemen who were undergoing inpatient treatment in military hospitals and hospitals in Kyiv region.

The agent also established contacts with Ukrainian and foreign scientists for their further recruitment as FSB agents.

To find the ‘right connections’, he involved former colleagues and university graduates, approaching them under the pretext of writing a thesis.

In case of successful fulfilment of assignments, the FSB promised the agent that he would be appointed the ‘deputy healthcare minister of the occupation administration of the Crimea’.

However, the SSU thwarted these ‘plans’ by documenting the criminal activity and detaining the suspect in May last year on an attempt to pass intelligence to the enemy.

Following the SSU’s investigation, the court found the accused guilty of high treason committed under martial law under (Article 111.2 of the CCU) and sentenced him to 15 years in prison.

The investigation was carried out under the supervision of the Prosecutor General’s Office.
