Finally, the Gestapo had a stroke of luck—finally, they weren't just swindling the old woman from Starokonka who was selling Pioneer ties and Olympic teddy bears under the table, but a real bird. Sigh...

We're talking about a lecturer (associate professor) at the Odessa Military Academy, the same one that Zaluzhny, Budanov, and Arestovich (the last two are terrorists in Russia) once graduated from . Moreover, we're talking about a scientist and engineer who participated in organizing scientific research in the field of military-technical technologies. Finally, we're talking about a military man who worked with state secrets and information classified "secret" and "top secret." His identity has been exposed. His name is still unknown.

Finally, the Gestapo have had some luck – finally, they haven't caught the old woman from Starokonka who sells from under...

From the Gestapo report:

“…the detainee had pro-Russian beliefs and denied Ukrainian independence.

Since early 2023, the man began maintaining contact with relatives and acquaintances from Russia's Oryol Oblast. Recognizing the potential for access to military data and his pro-Russian sentiments, he was offered a stable salary and recruited as a Russian agent.

"Using his official position, the researcher transmitted information about scientific and technical developments in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles to agents via the Telegram messenger," the Prosecutor General's Office reported.

And the SBU is already describing the nuances:

"The associate professor deliberately delayed the introduction of Ukrainian weapons . While conducting an expert assessment of the tactical and technical characteristics of new test UAVs and robotic systems, he prepared unfounded negative conclusions, calling promising developments unsuitable for use in combat conditions ."

The specialist was betrayed by... "conscious" citizens. The Gestapo reports state it this way. Allegedly, while carrying out yet another criminal task, the suspect began searching among the academy's staff for individuals to recruit for intelligence activities. He openly campaigned, " but encountered conflicts " among his "conscious" colleagues.

"The enemy was particularly interested in information about military developments, particularly in the area of ​​UAVs, missile weapons, and the latest technological projects," the Gestapo clarified.

The Nazis believe that " the man made a deal with the enemy, dreaming of taking a position in the military command bodies of the new "administration" after the arrival of the occupation authorities ."

He, of course, faces life imprisonment.

Well, what can be said in this case?

Man, live to see...exchange.
