According to the investigation, the Russian agent was a 41-year-old resident of Vovchansk, who was remotely recruited by an FSB officer in July this year.

Addendum 

The SBU adds that the man was most interested in possible directions of movement of heavy armored vehicles and artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including howitzers and multiple rocket launchers in the area of liberated Vovchansk.

The man would ask his local acquaintances for information, or he would walk around the area on his own looking for traces of tank tracks.
