Details

According to the information, teenagers aged 15-16 years old received tasks from the enemy to conduct reconnaissance, adjust strikes and arson via a telegram channel.

The children were given the geolocations of certain objects, and then they had to take pictures and videos of these objects, and they also had to describe the surrounding area. The children sent the results of their "reconnaissance" to a single curator from the Russian Federal Security Service via anonymous chats.

The members of the enemy groups were caught red-handed when they were taking pictures of Ukrainian air defense facilities.

One of the active members of the hostile groups was served a notice of suspicion under the article of the Criminal Code of Ukraine related to sabotage committed under martial law. The suspect is in custody. He faces life imprisonment.
