The man was also advising the invaders on sites for covert to place their military equipment near the social infrastructure and residential buildings.

After the de-occupation of the settlement, the Russian agent was assigned to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

He voluntarily came to the local military enlistment office to join one of the military units.

The SSU uncovered the crime and detained the man. He has now been notified of suspicion of committing a crime. The court has assigned keeping him in custody as a measure of restraint.
