The SBU has detained a former deputy head of one of the territorial communities in Sumy region.
The man faces life imprisonment for collaboration with the Russian invaders.
According to the investigation, the detainee was recruited by the Russian special services before the full-scale invasion.
When part of Sumy region was occupied, the man met with his supervisor from the FSB and received tasks regarding intelligence and subversive activities in Ukraine.
Using his position in the community, the collaborator collected intelligence regarding location and weaponry of the Ukrainian units in the area.
In addition, using personal connections, the traitor collected personal data of the military commanders and leaders of local communities.
The SBU counter-intelligence detained the collaborator while he was trying to transmit the geolocations of several Ukrainian units.
The Security Service continues investigation into the case under the article of high treason.

Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline. This is the second stabilization point established under the Steel Front initiative in cooperation with the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
