'IT Specialist' Detained In Kyiv For Installing Cameras To Track Air Defense Locations
Investigators established that the suspect, a 24-year-old IT specialist from a Kyiv university, had been recruited by Russian intelligence. He came to the attention of the FSB while looking for easy money on Telegram channels.
Following instructions from the Russian security service, the agent documented the aftermath of Russian airstrikes on Kyiv and monitored Ukrainian air defense positions.
To do this, he rented apartments in high-rise buildings at addresses preselected by his handler. He then installed remote-access cameras in the windows, allowing Russian operatives to monitor activity in real time during combined attacks on Kyiv and adjust follow-up strikes.
Additionally, the enemy used the live video feed to try to identify the exact coordinates of Ukrainian air defense systems.

The agent also installed similar surveillance devices near railway tracks used by Ukrzaliznytsia, believing that military trains might pass through the Kyiv region.
SBU counterintelligence exposed the suspect in advance, documented his espionage activities, and detained him at one of the rented apartments.
At the scene, officers found a video camera and a phone containing evidence of his communications with an FSB handler.
The man has been formally charged under Part 2 of Article 111 of Ukraine's Criminal Code (high treason committed under martial law). He is currently in custody and faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
