The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) declared the suspicion of treason (Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code) to the pro-Russian millionaire blogger Yuriy Podoliaka. He helped the occupiers launch rocket attacks on Mykolaiv.
The press service of SBU writes about this.
SBU documented his participation in the informational and psychological operation against Ukraine on the order of the special services of the Russian Federation. He also corrected missile strikes on Mykolaiv at the beginning of a full-scale war.
Podoliaka received intelligence from the informant, ex-head of the Mykolaiv District Prosecutorʼs Office, who is already serving a life sentence for treason, Hennadiy Herman, and passed it on to curators from the Russian special services.
The prosecutor handed over the location data of the Ukrainian military, information about the consequences of the arrivals, Russian prisoners of war, daily passwords at checkpoints.
Previously, SBU employees had already informed Podolyaka about the suspicion under five articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The suspect is hiding in Russia.
