The detainee turned out to be a contract worker who deserted, voluntarily left the military unit and hid in the regional center.
Six military vehicles were set on fire in Kharkiv during the night. SBU and National Police officers detained a 22-year-old man on suspicion of organizing this crime. About this reported Vladyslav Abdula, spokesman for the SBU administration in the Kharkiv region.
The detainee turned out to be a contract worker who had deserted, voluntarily leaving the military unit, and was hiding in Kharkiv. During his stay in the city, he was actively looking for ways to earn money through Telegram channels. On one of these channels, he was recruited by a representative of Russian intelligence, who offered him money for setting fire to military equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

To fulfill the task, the man walked around the city at night, trying to find Ukrainian military vehicles. In one night, he managed to set six service cars of the Armed Forces on fire.
To confirm the completion of the task, he recorded his actions on the phone camera during the preparation and commission of the crime. The Russian special services planned to use these videos to create information operations aimed at discrediting Ukrainian society, in particular, to create a false image of the anti-Ukrainian underground in the Kharkiv region.
Currently, the husband has been notified of suspicion under Part 2 of Art. 194 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (intentional destruction or damage to property). The detainee was taken into custody in accordance with Art. 208 of the CPC of Ukraine. He faces up to 10 years in prison.
