A man was detained in Nizhny Novgorod on suspicion of espionage.
As the FSB found out, the Nizhny Novgorod resident was filming military facilities.
RIA Novosti reports this with reference to information provided by the department.
As the department's employees found out, the Nizhny Novgorod resident acted in this way on the instructions of foreign curators. According to the FSB, those who gave the suspect the assignment may be connected with the SBU.
To communicate with the initiators of the surveillance, the man used the popular messenger Telegram.
Having received the task from the curators, the Nizhny Novgorod resident began to carry it out. The man began filming military installations.
In particular, the footage filmed by the defendant in the treason case shows Russian troops, military-industrial complex facilities, and buildings housing government agencies.
The man also posted leaflets calling for people to join a paramilitary radical movement controlled by Ukrainian special services.
If the accused is found guilty, he faces up to 12 years in prison.
