Officers from the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) have detained a serviceman who deserted his post and began collaborating with the Russian security services. In exchange for money, he passed on information to the enemy regarding the deployment of Ukrainian troops in the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions.
This was reported by Censor.NET, citing the State Bureau of Investigation’s press centre.
According to the investigation, the man was conscripted into military service at the end of 2024. However, after several months of service and training, he deserted his military unit and went into hiding in southern Ukraine.
Constantly in need of money, the deserter agreed to an offer from a representative of the Russian FSB to earn money by passing on information about Ukrainian troops.

After receiving this data, Russian troops launched strikes on the coordinates provided. As a result of the shelling, Ukrainian servicemen were wounded and military equipment was damaged.
