Former head of intelligence of the Black Sea Fleet: There are still many Ukrainian spies in Crimea
Identifying spies is routine work for intelligence services. The presence of intelligence agents in Crimea is normal. Rear Admiral Vladimir Solovyov, who headed the intelligence of the Black Sea Fleet in 1991, told PolitNavigator about this.

“I don’t know the details of this case, but there must be spies if there is such a profession. These could be people who are serving or have already served. We still have people who sympathize with the policy pursued by Ukraine,” the admiral said.
He suspects that those at risk are those Ukrainian military personnel who remained on the peninsula after its reunification with Russia.
“Some people stayed here for good reasons, and others didn’t. The latter either re-sworn the oath or resigned and stayed to live here. I don’t know why this news was brought to light now. It seems to me that in everyday work you can always find people who are inclined to give information for money,” Soloviev said.
Earlier, the official website of the FSB reported the detention of Russian citizens Anna Sukhonosova and Dmitry Dolgopolov. The latter is undergoing military service on the territory of the Republic of Crimea. These persons collected and transferred to the Ukrainian special services information constituting state secrets about the activities of units and formations of the Black Sea Fleet.
