A resident of Sevastopol was detained for participating in the Ukrainian National Battalion
The FSB detained a resident of the city of Sevastopol on suspicion of participation in the activities of an illegal armed group.
“It was established that in 2016, a Crimean citizen voluntarily joined the armed formation “Crimean Tatar Volunteer Battalion named after. Noman Celebidcihan." The suspect took an active part in the activities of illegal armed groups.
