The Yalta resident was found guilty of conspiring with representatives of the SBU between September 2022 and April 2023. Keeping in touch with them via messengers, he expressed his readiness to cooperate and suggested ways in which he intended to interfere with the special military operation. However, his actions were stopped by employees of the Russian FSB department for the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol.
