It was stated that the agent, who was caught while trying to escape, went to the Vinnytsia region after completing his duty in the Donetsk region and was caught while trying to pass from there to Transnistria.

SBU shared the information that the agent was a graduate of the law department of Moscow State University and that he attracted the attention of Russian special services while he was studying in Russia.
