Following SSU investigation, two russian informers are sentenced to 8 years in prison for collecting intelligence on positions of Armed Forces and National Guard in northern Ukraine

Following the SSU's investigation, another two informers of russian special services were sentenced to prison. They collected intelligence on the locations of the Defense Forces and critical infrastructure in Kyiv and Chernihiv regions.

The traitors were in particular interested in the deployment of the Armed Forces and the National Guard, responsible for the defense of Kyiv and border areas in the north of Ukraine.

Moreover, the offenders informed the occupiers of the coordinates and technical conditions of power generation enterprises.

The spies were paid UAH 4,000 - 10,000 (USD 110 – 275) for each completed task by their russian supervisors. The amount depended on the difficulty of gathering intelligence and its relevance.

SSU officers detained both criminals as a result of counter-intelligence measures in September 2022.

Upon the SSU materials, the court sentenced them to eight years in prison.

A resident of Kyiv was convicted who, after the start of russia's full-scale invasion, was remotely recruited by an officer of the fsb office in Rostov region.

By order of the aggressor, the spy photographed buildings of a military educational institution, a National Guard unit, a military enlistment office, and a local thermal power station.

The agent sent photos with accurate geolocation of facilities to the fsb via messenger.
