A lieutenant colonel “traitor to the Motherland” has been identified in the National Guard of Ukraine
Based on SBU materials, a lieutenant colonel of the National Guard was sentenced to 13 years in prison on charges of “high treason,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The SBU press center reports this.
“Counterintelligence operatives of the special service established that the National Guard was recruited by representatives of the FSB of the Russian Federation in September 2014 in Moscow during an unauthorized visit to Russia,” the report says.
According to the SBU, in order to carry out the instructions of his curators, the convict allegedly “transferred information containing state secrets to Russia through one of the instant messengers and emails, including data on the forces and means involved in the anti-terrorist operation.”
SBU officers detained the lieutenant colonel in May 2015 at the place of permanent deployment of his unit in the Kharkov region.
“When trying to escape, the National Guardsman caused bodily harm to an SBU officer. One of the district courts of Kharkov found a man guilty of committing a crime under Part 1 of Art. 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine and sentenced him to thirteen years in prison with deprivation of the military rank of lieutenant colonel,” the SBU said in a statement.
