The man acted on instructions from people who identified themselves as Ukrainian intelligence service employees, reports Orda.kz.
According to Mash, Boiko lived in Russia without registration and official employment.
He responded to an offer received on Telegram. Unknown individuals promised him over 200,000 tenge for each burned-down mobile communication tower.

Boiko was later detained. He is now accused of intentional destruction of property by generally dangerous means. He faces up to five years in prison.
