Carrying out his tasks, he took photos and videos of military and strategic sites in the regional center — areas near military units, industrial enterprises, administrative buildings, and infrastructure facilities.

Law enforcement officers detained him while he was carrying out another assignment from his curator. The illegal activity has been halted.

He is in custody.

The sanction of the article provides for 15 years of imprisonment or life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
