A Russian informant who corrected Russian air attacks on Mykolaiv and Odesa was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
According to the press service of the Security Service of Ukraine, the enemy's priority targets were reserve command posts and logistics centers of the Defense Forces in port cities.
According to the case file, the enemy fire was directed by a 47-year-old former law enforcement officer from Mykolaiv, who was fulfilling an order from the Russian special service. To adjust the combined strikes of the Nazis, the informant marked the geolocation of Ukrainian defenders on Google maps and periodically monitored the effects of enemy arrivals.
The offender passed the collected data to Serhiy Lebedev (known by the pseudonym "Shaggy"), who is hiding in Donetsk and works for the FSB and Russian military intelligence. SBU cyber specialists and investigators documented the informant's crimes and detained him in November 2023 at his place of residence. At the same time, comprehensive measures were taken to secure the locations of the Defense Forces.
During the searches, the SBU seized a phone with evidence of his contacts with the Russian agent "Shaggy".
Based on the SBU materials, the informant was found guilty under Part 3 of Article 114-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (unauthorized dissemination of information on the movement, relocation or deployment of the Armed Forces or other military formations formed in accordance with the laws of Ukraine, committed under martial law).
Earlier, the court found a 39-year-old resident of Odesa region guilty of high treason and sentenced her to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property. Prosecutors proved in court that the woman voluntarily cooperated with a representative of the Russian Federation's special services. She was tasked with collecting and transmitting information about the location of military facilities, regardless of the type of troops and subordination, in Odesa and the region.
