He transmitted collected intelligence to occupiers by secure communication channels. His messages included coordinates on electronic maps, detailed descriptions of buildings and surrounding areas as well as photos and video footage of the location and appearance of these facilities.

The enemy used the received information to carry out massive strikes.

The SSU is verifying, among other facts, the suspect’s involvement in adjusting the missile attack on Kryvyi Rih airport on March 10.

During the searches of the suspect’s home, the law enforcement found communication devices he used to contact his russian supervisor. The agent’s texting confirms that he received enemy’s assignments and reported on their execution.
