The court found the Russian agent, who was a member of Illya Kiva's inner circle, guilty under Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (high treason committed under martial law).
Reportedly, the convict is a local resident, an ideological supporter of racism, who met Kiva in 2014. He headed a public association in Dnipro that was controlled by the banned OPFL party.
After February 24, 2022, the man switched to direct communication with a representative of Russian intelligence. Anonymous chats in the messenger were used for communication.
According to the investigation, the offender tried to identify and pass on to the enemy the locations of Ukrainian air defense near the regional center.
SBU officers detained an enemy accomplice during a special operation in the region in the fall of 2022.
