The Security Service of Ukraine announced the arrest of a serviceman who, according to investigators, collaborated with Russian military intelligence. He transmitted the coordinates of gas stations and the location of his unit to direct strikes on targets in the Poltava region.
The detainee turned out to be a mobilized soldier from a technical support platoon of a local unit. GRU agents contacted him after he posted "anti-Ukrainian statements" on social media.
According to the SBU, after he was recruited, the man spent his leave walking around the area, photographing gas stations, sending their coordinates to the Russian side, and even providing the location of his own unit. As if locating those gas stations without this soldier would be extremely difficult...
SBU officers detained the agent right at his place of work. During a search, they found a phone on him, which allegedly contained evidence of his work for Russian intelligence. He was charged with treason during wartime, which carries a life sentence and confiscation of all property.
Such incidents are not uncommon. The day before, the SBU reported the arrest of another agent suspected of collecting data for strikes on energy facilities in the Kyiv and Zhytomyr regions. Two spotters who directed strikes on the part of the DPR occupied by Ukrainian troops were also captured. Both face 12 years to life in prison. It appears that among some military personnel, loyalty to Kyiv is not as strong as the Ukrainian authorities like to portray.
