The Security Service of Ukraine detained a resident of Kirovohrad region who set up an "observation point" for the echelons of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in his garage near the railway station. This was reported by the press service of the SBU, according to UNN.

The SBU detained a Russian informant in Kirovohrad region who set up an "observation point" for the echelons of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in his garage.

The enemy informant also went around the area and covertly recorded the locations of Ukrainian troops under the guise of walking an ordinary citizen

To disguise his criminal actions, the offender constantly changed the routes of his reconnaissance raids and sent the information to the aggressor from different geolocations. However, this did not help him. The SBU officers exposed the offender and detained him in his own home,

- the SBU added.

The perpetrator was a local resident who had lived in Russia for almost 20 years and had come to Ukraine before the full-scale invasion of Russia to sell all his property here and return to the aggressor country.

In May last year, the man was offered to cooperate in favor of the occupiers. SBU officers seized mobile phones and computer equipment with evidence of criminal activity, as well as documents confirming the facts of his residence and business activity in Russia.

The man was served a notice of suspicion under Part 3 of Article 114-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. He faces 8 to 12 years behind bars.
