What data did he pass on to Russia?

According to the SSU, in order to carry out an enemy task, the suspect "leaked" to the FSB the coordinates of the temporary base of his unit and neighbouring military units.

The suspect also sent the enemy the geolocation of armoured convoys, transit warehouses and vehicle fleets on the Ukrainian border.

"It was established that the Russian kept in touch with the curator through anonymous chats. The 'mole' used three smartphones with different operators, including those of the European Union, to conceal the agent's communication.

However, this did not help the enemy. The SSU officers documented the agent's intelligence activity and detained him when he was on his way to an ATM to check the receipt of money from Russia," the statement said.

It has been established that the FSB used his brother from Russia to engage the man in cooperation.

SSU investigators served the agent a notice of suspicion.

The offender is in custody.
