As reported in the Central District Court of Mykolaiv, a 46-year-old resident of Mykolaiv is accused of treason.

During the interrogation of witnesses, it became known that the man threatened the woman and talked about cooperation with the Russians. The witness said that the accused got her phone number and address while working at the post office. After that he started sending her messages.

«The woman did not want to maintain communication. Over time, the accused informed her that he was cooperating with the special services of the Russian Federation and would provide them with the coordinates of her house in order to launch a missile strike. The woman did not take these threats seriously. She recognized the accused at the court hearing,» the report says.

The case files indicate that the accused agreed for money to send information about the deployment of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and critical infrastructure facilities in Mykolaiv.

«Subsequently, he sent information indicating the geographical coordinates of places where, in his opinion, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are located. One of the messages contained the coordinates of a residential high-rise building, which is not used for military purposes in any way,» the court added.

The suspect's detention period was extended. He is charged under part 2 of article 111, part 2 of article 15, part 5 of article 27, part 2 of article 28, part 1 of article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
