Details
According to the SBU, in 2023, the contractor was remotely recruited by an FSB officer, Dmitry Pavlovich Sorokolotov. He came to the attention of the occupiers because of his pro-Kremlin comments in Russian Telegram channels, where he supported Russia's war against Ukraine.
Reportedly, the traitor "leaked" to the enemy special service the location of his UAV unit, which was engaged in adjusting fire on the Rashists attacking Chasiv Yar. the Russians planned to use this information to strike at the positions of Ukrainian drones, which prevented the Rashists from breaking through to the city. The agent also tried to pass on to the FSB the coordinates of other Ukrainian armed forces units in the Chasiv Yar area.
The SBU military counterintelligence exposed the traitor in advance and thus prevented enemy attacks on the locations of Ukrainian troops.
During the searches, the law enforcers seized cell phones with evidence of working for the enemy.
Based on the collected materials, the SBU investigators served him a notice of suspicion under Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (high treason committed under martial law).
The traitor is in custody. He faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
