"The Security Service detained another supporter of racism who was passing information to the occupiers about the locations of the Defense Forces in Mykolaiv. The defendant administered a local Telegram channel, where he published the location and routes of the TCC representatives, and also called on conscripts to evade mobilization," the SBU reported.
According to the case file, "he reportedly acted on the instructions of the Russian special services".
"In this way, the enemy tried to disrupt mobilization in the region and planned to use the relevant information to conduct sabotage against Ukrainian defenders, in particular by setting fire to the vehicles of the Armed Forces," the SBU said.
To obtain the information, the suspect, according to the SBU, personally traveled around the city and solicited information under the guise of friendly conversations with his friends.
The SBU documented the criminal actions of the suspect and detained him. He was served a notice of suspicion under Part 1 Art. 114-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (obstructing the lawful activities of the Armed Forces and other military formations).
The offender is in custody. In addition, the issue of additional qualification of the blogger's criminal actions under Part 6 of Art. 111-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (collaboration), which provides for a sentence of up to 12 years in prison, is reportedly being considered.
