Based on the evidence collected by the SSU’s cyber units and investigators, an enemy agent has been sentenced to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property. The Service exposed him in Kyiv in late May this year.

The investigation established that the individual had been registering Starlink satellite communication terminals on orders of russia’s federal security service. The enemy used the verified terminals to adjust fire against Ukrainian defenders in Donetsk region.

The SSU detained the agent red-handed near a post office in the capital, where he had brought an acquaintance to register another internet device.

The perpetrator is an unemployed Kyiv resident recruited by the russians. The FSB spotted him after he started looking for easy money on Telegram channels.

It was established that the agent initially registered a Starlink terminal in his own name and passed the relevant registration details to his russian handler.

Subsequently, the traitor covertly involved his acquaintances in the sabotage activities, persuading them to register three additional satellite terminals in their names.

The asset later planned to recruit another 20 people to verify terminals on orders of the aggressor state.

All Starlink terminals registered by the suspect have now been blocked.

During the searches, investigators found a smartphone containing evidence of his cooperation with the FSB.

Based on the evidence, the court found the accused guilty under Article 111.2 of the CCU (high treason, committed under martial law).

The investigation was carried out by the SSU Office in Kyiv and Kyiv Region under the procedural supervision of the Kyiv City Prosecutor’s Office.
