Suspicion reported against Kharkiv resident who leaked locations of Ukrainian Armed Forces to pro-Russian chat rooms

Under the procedural guidance of the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor's Office, a citizen was reported on suspicion of spreading information about the location of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, committed under martial law.

According to the investigation, the Kharkiv resident “dumped” locations of Ukrainian defenders to pro-Russian chat rooms in Telegram. The data published by the man was later used by Russian military personnel to plan targeted strikes on the bases of Ukrainian defenders.

Currently, at the request of the prosecution, the suspect has been placed in custody as a preventive measure.

The pre-trial investigation and operational support are carried out by the SBU Department in the Kharkiv region.
