The Security Service of Ukraine detained another coordinator of Russian airstrikes in the Mykolaiv region.
According to case materials, the suspect is a 57-year-old local resident, a former employee of a furniture factory.
The agent’s main task was to locate and transmit coordinates of checkpoints and other sites where Ukrainian defenders were concentrated, as well as to conduct reconnaissance of a local airfield: presence of planes, military personnel, and equipment.
To gather this information, the suspect traveled around the area supposedly for personal errands.
He sent the collected data to a chat-bot operated by Serhiy Lebediev (known under the pseudonym "Lohmatyi"), who is hiding in Donetsk and works for the FSB and Russian military intelligence. Lebediev then forwarded this information to his handlers.
SSU cyber specialists exposed the informant, documented his crimes, and detained him at his place of residence. Simultaneously, the Security Service carried out comprehensive measures to secure the locations of the Defense Forces.
Recall that since the start of the full-scale war, the SBU has exposed more than 30 informants linked to "Lohmatyi." Most of them have already been sentenced to prison terms.
SSU investigators have notified the newly detained suspect of suspicion under Part 3 of Article 114-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (unauthorized dissemination of information about the deployment or movement of the Armed Forces of Ukraine or other military formations created according to Ukrainian laws, committed during martial law).
The suspect remains in custody without the right to bail. He faces up to 12 years of imprisonment.
