On the instructions of the FSB, they went around their towns and covertly recorded railway junctions involved in the transfer of heavy weapons and ammunition to the frontline.
An additional task for the agent from Donetsk region was to identify the positions of Ukrainian troops holding the line in the Kramatorsk direction.
