A 45-year-old employee of the Chernihiv branch of Ukrzaliznytsia, who passed on data on the movement of Defense Forces equipment to the enemy, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison. He was found guilty of high treason. This was reported by the Security Service of Ukraine and the Prosecutor General's Office .
The convict conducted reconnaissance and collected information regarding the movement and location of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the city of Chernihiv and the Chernihiv region.
According to the case materials, the man used his workplace at the railway station to covertly photograph and record the routes with stops of freight trains transporting armored vehicles, artillery systems, and ammunition to the front.
He also informed the enemy about the location of military-industrial complex facilities in the region.
The Chernihiv resident sent the collected data via the Telegram messenger along with the marks on Google Maps screenshots.
