The group for reconnaissance and subversive activities was formed by a staff member of the FSB. It included a resident of Sumy region, who was recruited by the Russian special services after the beginning of the full-scale invasion, and another resident of the region, who had caught the eye of the invaders because of his pro-Russian views.
To accomplish the enemy's task, the men used their connections in the region and traveled around the border area to monitor units of the Ukrainian military. One of the detainees went to Kyiv, where he tried to covertly photograph and film the locations of Ukrainian defenders. He transmitted the obtained coordinates to the Russian Federation.
