Russian intelligence was also interested in the locations of the National Guard units and their security system.
Cherkaschanin traveled around the region and secretly recorded the locations of Ukrainian defenders on his phone, and in everyday conversations with acquaintances, he secretly asked them for the necessary information.
He transferred the information he received to Google maps, and then sent it to his FSB curator with the corresponding photos.
The enemy needed this information to prepare a new series of missile and drone strikes on the region, bypassing Air Defense.
However, the SBU managed to expose the agent in advance and detain him when he was conducting additional reconnaissance near a military facility. He was also found to have a mobile phone with evidence of communication with the Russian special services.
