In the process of IDing the detainee, the law enforcement officers have found on him an accreditation certificate issued by the so-called "ministry of information policy of the Donetsk People's Republic", the so-called "military accreditation".
"This became the basis for attracting SBU operatives to the probe. The SBU found that Nemyshev "worked" in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine from the spring of 2016 until the autumn of 2017. He prepared a number of false anti-Ukrainian reports at the request of Russian curators and in the interests of the top-level militant leaders, to justify and popularize in the media their illegal activities," the SBU said.
