The Security Service has detained an employee of Ukrzaliznytsia who was "leaking" the location of the Defense Forces' equipment in Sloviansk to russian invaders. It was reported by the press service of the agency.
The detainee is a 33-year-old employee of the regional branch of the Ukrzaliznytsia JSC.
"As the investigation established, the person was tracking the location of heavy equipment of the Defense Forces for the enemy, on which, according to available information, the occupiers were preparing missile and bomb attacks," the statement said.
In order to identify the coordinates of military facilities, the attacker walked around the frontline community after hours and tracked the concentration of Ukrainian troops and equipment.
He stored the information on his own phone and transferred it to his acquaintance, who was a "liaison" with russian special services.
Security Service officers exposed the man and detained him at his place of residence.
"The SSU also took measures to secure the locations of the Defense Forces in the area of enemy reconnaissance activity in the Kramatorsk direction. During the searches, a mobile phone with evidence of working for the enemy was seized from the detainee," the agency said.
What punishment does the man face?
Security Service investigators have served the informant a notice of suspicion under Part 2 of Art. 114-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (unauthorized dissemination of information on the movement, relocation or deployment of the Armed Forces committed under martial law).
The offender is in custody. He faces up to 8 years in prison.
As a reminder, a banker was detained in Kyiv who "leaked" personal data of the Defense Forces soldiers to the russians.
