In Sloviansk, a 44-year-old shop assistant turned out to be an enemy accomplice. She had come to the attention of the Russians due to her pro-Russian comments across Telegram channels.
To gather sensitive data, the woman would surveil the area and engage in small talk with shoppers.
Another Russian informant was a 45-year-old employee of a utility firm in the village of Krasnotorka, Kramatorsk district.
