The man's found to be covered in Nazi tattoos, including a swastika and Adolph Hitler? He's even got them on his head. Clearly, the sort of ideal "blend in with the locals" covert operative you would send.
Do you really - I mean really- believe this sort of stuff?

It's a propaganda cartoon!
I doubt he was sent or hired by the Ukraine, but you may not be aware that both sides have a
“dob in your country” kind of hotline in return for cash (direct transfer of funds via smartphone software) and this seemingly unemployable creep who may well be into drugs, probably couldn’t care less!
Here’s how it easily works…
You go stand close to the front door of a building where military activity is spotted and using your smartphone get the longitude/latitude thereof, and send it off to this online intelligence gathering service of the enemy along with some description of observations etc... and 2-3 days later the building gets walloped by a missile as you await for your Revolut account to be credited with say $500!
To fight this kind of activity the FSB is probably monitoring such fund transfers, and I would assume the same happens over in the Ukraine.
High treason has become very easy to commit these days and there are many desperate junkies out there!
Russia may well execute the fool after a good torture to expose all his secrets, because they are after all in a war so different rules apply.
