Based on evidence collected by the Security Service of Ukraine, an FSB agent who operated in Mykolaiv was sentenced to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property.
This was reported by the SBU press service.
The investigation established that the woman filmed the aftermath of Russian attacks, in particular, damage to industrial facilities after kamikaze drone strikes in 2023. She passed the finished videos to representatives of Russian propaganda, in particular “RIA Novosti”.
The agent worked through an intermediary, Sergei Lebedev, known by the pseudonym “Lokhmaty”, who cooperates with the FSB in Donetsk. Lebedev edited propaganda materials to discredit the Defense Forces of Ukraine before the international community.
During the search, law enforcement officers seized a mobile phone from the woman with evidence of her cooperation with the enemy. The court found her guilty of high treason under Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
The investigation was conducted by SBU officers in the Mykolaiv region under the procedural guidance of the regional prosecutor's office.
