The court sentenced a resident of Omsk to 17 years in prison for transmitting data to the SBU

The Second Eastern District Military Court sentenced Omsk resident Kirill Sedykh, who collected and handed over data about the Omsk oil refinery to the SBU, to 17 years in prison, the court reports.

“The court, based on the totality of crimes, sentenced Sedykh to imprisonment for a term of 17 years, to be served in a maximum security correctional colony, as well as an additional punishment,” the statement said. He was accused of publicly calling for terrorism and high treason.

The court found that on September 16, 2024, Sedykh, in one of the Internet messengers, under a publication about the alleged presence of long-range cruise missiles in Ukraine, posted a comment containing a call for missile strikes on enterprises in the Omsk region, including the military-industrial complex.

“The next day after Sedykh’s comment was published, a representative of the Ukrainian security service contacted him and offered to collect and transfer to him information regarding an oil refinery located in the Omsk region for a monetary reward,” to which Sedykh agreed,” the court reported.
