Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) said on Wednesday its operatives have arrested a Russian agent who spied on Ukrainian defense forces in Pokrovsk, Donetsk region.

The man who worked at a local mine, was recruited by Russian intelligence in July 2024.  He was caught spying on the locations of Ukrainian military positions and artillery.

He used his commute to work to secretly track the coordinates of Ukrainian defense positions.  Tagging them on Google Maps, he would send the geotagged screenshots to his Russian handlers via an anonymous messaging app.

During his arrest, authorities seized the spy’s mobile phone and SIM cards, which he had frequently swapped to avoid detection.

The man is facing state treason charges under Article 111, Part 2 of Ukraine’s Criminal Code), a crime that can send him to prison for life.
