"To accomplish the task, he tried to install a webcam near one of the bridges to record the "schedules" of military echelons. In case of detection of the Ukrainian Armed Forces rolling stock, the suspect was to transmit their coordinates online to the aggressor to prepare a targeted strike on the railway line," the SBU reported on social media.

Thus, according to the intelligence service, "the enemy hoped to disrupt the supply of Ukrainian weapons and ammunition to the front lines of the eastern and southern fronts.

However, SBU officers were proactive and detained the Russian informant red-handed when he tried to install a webcam near the railroad tracks.
