"A British ex-army instructor has been arrested in Kyiv and accused of spying for Russia while posing as an adviser to the Ukrainian army. Ukraine has accused the man of passing information to Moscow about other foreign military advisers in Ukraine and the coordinates of army training centres. The Ukrainian prosecutor general's office alleged he arrived in Ukraine in 2024, conducted military training for the army and worked in the border guard before agreeing to collaborate with Moscow."
"Ukraine's state security service, the SBU, alleges the Russian FSB spy bureau gave the man instructions on making explosive devices and also provided him with a handgun and ammunition, while the prosecutor general claimed he attempted to establish access to the command of military units in exchange for $6,000. He faces up to 12 years in prison if found guilty."
