Speaking to Ukrainian military blogger Apostle Dmytro Karpenko on YouTube, he explained that the subsequent attacks resulted in up to 150 deaths and around 50 injuries.

The 19-year-old man from Novosibirsk, Russia, was originally drafted into military service even though he was studying at a university. He later signed a contract expecting to receive training as a non-commissioned officer – instead he was sent directly to a combat zone.

According to his own statements, he was stationed with the 150th Motorized Rifle Division in Novocherkassk before being transferred to the 102nd Regiment. He is said to have been deployed as a drone operator within the unit without appropriate training. His area of ​​operation was apparently in the direction of Sofiivka and Volodymyrivka.

Russian is said to have passed on information to Ukrainians for 80 days

Over a period of approximately 80 days, he provided coordinates of positions, equipment and movement routes of the 102nd Regiment to the Ukrainian military further. The data was transmitted in near real time, with a delay of only 10 to 15 minutes. The Russian command is said to have repeatedly changed the direction of march, but the new routes also came under fire.

According to him, the information also led to the destruction of at least two Russian tanks and damage to a multiple rocket launcher. There are also four drone and four mortar crews on the Russian side have been switched off.
