Another spotter turned out to be a 39-year-old unemployed woman from Pokrovsk district, recruited by the FSB.
According to the instructions of the Russian special service, the woman tracked the geolocations of fortified areas and combat positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which were holding back the advance of the occupiers' assault groups. Later, the perpetrator went to Svitlovodsk in Kirovohrad region, where she settled in a rented apartment and developed an escape route to Russia through third countries
During searches, her Russian passport and smartphone, from which she contacted the FSB handler, were seized.
Based on the evidence collected by counterintelligence and investigators of the Security Service, the court found the agent guilty under Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (treason committed under martial law).
