The SBU officers exposed the traitor's connection with the Russian special service in advance and documented his subversive activities against Ukraine step by step. This allowed to take a set of measures to protect Ukrainian defenders, as well as to detain the FSB agent at the stage of his preparation for the sabotage.

Based on the collected evidence, the SBU investigators served him a notice of suspicion under Part 2 Art. 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (high treason committed under martial law). The offender is currently in custody. He faces life imprisonment.
