It was established that in order to prepare a missile attack, a Russian agent gave the invaders electronic coordinates of the “targets” with location reference.
“The traitor turned out to be a man who worked as a foreman at a local enterprise engaged in the construction of roads and bridges. The Russian intelligence service recruited him through Telegram. Under the guise of work trips, the agent recorded the locations and movements of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the region, the report says.
