The agent monitored the reserve command posts of the Defense Forces in the front-line city and their movement routes for the Russian Federation. To cover up the conspiracy, the man got a job as a handyman at a local municipal improvement enterprise.

There, under the guise of working trips, he continued to monitor the locations of concentration of personnel and equipment of Ukrainian troops in the Slavyansk direction.

The defendant stored the collected information on his smartphone in the form of coordinates of potential "targets" against which the Russians were preparing strikes with guided aerial bombs and rocket artillery, in particular the Smerch MLRS.

14.26 The Ukrainian Defense Forces have narrowed the Russian bridgehead on the western bank of the Oskil River and complicated its logistical capabilities for advancing towards Kupyansk. This was stated by Viktor Tregubov, head of the communications department of the Joint Forces Group.

"Overall, the number of groups has decreased and the very opportunity for them to maintain logistical connectivity has become smaller. There, the only route, the only path that was open to the Russians, is directly through the north along the Oskil River through Golubivka. And since the entire road there has now become a little narrower, it is obvious that it has become generally more difficult for them to conduct small assault groups under the blows of Ukrainian drones," he noted.

According to Tregubov, the biggest threat currently is Russian strikes on the center of the Ukrainian bridgehead, where the Russians are actively trying to make their way from Pishchane to Kupyansk-Kuzlovye.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga stressed that such threats are a consequence of Russian aggression. "The most effective way to prevent the spread of such threats is to strengthen Ukraine's air defense, increase pressure on Russia, and deprive the aggressor of the opportunity to continue the war," he said.

At the same time, the court found him at least partially responsible as a participant in these events.

In addition, the court overturned one of the episodes of the indictment, which concerned the carving of the Rusych group symbol on the cheek of a Ukrainian soldier.
