The leaking of Ukrainian Armed Forces positions in a chat roulette — how a resident of Odesa was punished.

A resident of Odesa, who decided to 'joke' in a chat roulette, by seemingly carelessly revealing the coordinates of Ukrainian military units, is now facing the full severity of the law. He will have to spend the next five years in prison for his recklessness and indifference to possible consequences.

Details of the case

An unexpected fan of bad jokes caused quite a bit of trouble for the officials by providing detailed information about the locations of military facilities of the Ukrainian law enforcement agencies. By publishing one of these conversations on a video hosting site, the man shocked the authorities with his recklessness and frivolity.

Judgment in Odesa

As a result of his unfounded joke, the chat roulette hero received a positive verdict from the court – five years in prison for revealing important military information during a sensitive time for the country. This is not the first case where residents of the Odesa region become heroes of unnecessary 'jokes' in front of outsiders, but lawsuits for such 'jokes' have already started to be taken seriously.
