(MENAFN- UkrinForm) According to Ukrinform, the SSU reported this.

According to the case materials, the invaders' orders were carried out by the 17-year-old graduate of a Kyiv school, who was recruited by the Russians through Telegram channels offering“easy money.”

The main task of the agent was reconnaissance: he received coordinates of potential targets from his handler and was supposed to record their external technical condition.

Among the main locations of interest to the enemy were energy facilities, Ukraine's Defense Forces headquarters, and objects of the air defense system protecting the airspace of the Kyiv region.

SSU officers detained the suspect near one of the military command centers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, about which he was preparing an“agent report.”

At the scene, a phone was seized from the suspect, onto which he photographed the objects designated by the Russian handler.
