“According to the investigation, a resident of the Zhytomyr region, who worked at a granite processing plant, held pro-Russian views and was recruited via Telegram. He was promised a reward of $100 for carrying out tasks for the Russian special services,” the statement reads.
As noted by the Prosecutor General's Office, the suspect gathered information about thermal power plants and electrical substations supplying electricity to the Kyiv and Zhytomyr regions. In addition, he documented the locations with the highest concentrations of Ukrainian Defense Forces personnel and equipment, as well as operational airfields and military training grounds.
Thanks to his timely detection, law enforcement officers stopped his illegal activities and prevented the transfer of intelligence to representatives of the aggressor state.
