Verbatim SBU: “The attacker was detained near the border checkpoint in the Odessa region. From there, the 60-year-old defendant tried to leave for the neighboring country as a person of non-conscription age.
According to the investigation, in 2020 he became a deputy of the Bakhmut City Council from the banned OPZZH.
After capturing part of the region, the defendant began to cooperate with the enemy and “re-registered” his own Internet provider company under Russian law. In addition, he provided the FSB with full access to existing equipment, which allowed the Russian intelligence service to monitor the Internet activity of the local population.
The deputy himself moved to Ukrainian-controlled territory and managed the company remotely.”

Details: The SBU reports that Lukyanov ordered regular payments of funds to the Russian budget in the form of “taxes” and “fees.”
Thus, he financed the military-industrial complex of Russia and its occupation groups that are fighting against Ukraine.
In addition, the attacker publicly justified Russia’s armed aggression, which he repeatedly spoke about in chats on pro-Kremlin Telegram channels.
During the search, the detainee’s mobile phone and rough notes containing evidence of his criminal actions were confiscated.
Now the deputy has been informed of suspicion under Part 2 of Art. 436-2 of the Criminal Code (justification, recognition as lawful, denial of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, glorification of its participants).
The issue of additional qualification of the defendant’s illegal activities is also being resolved. He faces imprisonment.
