The 53‑year‑old native of the Luhansk region was allegedly recruited by Russian intelligence services and collected data on the production of armored vehicles, ammunition and explosives, as well as on military facilities and NATO personnel.

He also gathered information about the Bundeswehr’s 45th Tank Brigade, which is to be stationed in Lithuania next year.
