The SBI employees served a notice of suspicion in absentia to a former serviceman from the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, who is currently training russian soldiers to fight. After the beginning of the full-scale aggression of the russian federation, the military began to use his skills against Ukrainians.

In 2014, in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, a contract soldier of the Tiger Special Forces Regiment asked representatives of the russian internal troops to enlist him in the military service.

In the ranks of the rosgvardia, he participated in the seizure of military facilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, created defensive structures, transported military equipment, weapons and ammunition to the territory of Crimea.

He also headed one of the training groups for the aggressor country's military, including teaching them how to shoot.

The former Ukrainian serviceman is suspected of high treason and desertion (Part 1 of Article 111, Part 1 of Article 408 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

The sanction of the articles provides for punishment in the form of imprisonment for up to 15 years with confiscation of property.

The Chernihiv Specialized Military and Defense Prosecutor's Office is providing procedural supervision.
