The SBI detained a former Ukrainian soldier, who betrayed and went to fight against his homeland

The employees of the SBI have detained a former Ukrainian soldier, who voluntarily swore allegiance to the russians after capturing his unit in Simferopol in 2014.

At the same time, his parents still live in the Poltava region.

After the beginning of the full-scale invasion, he went to fight against Ukraine as part of russian attack aircraft of 123th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the russian federation.

In January 2025, during the assault on the enemy positions in the Donetsk direction, the traitor was captured by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The former military man is suspected of high treason (Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

The issue of choosing a preventive measure for him is being decided.

The sanction of the Article provides for life imprisonment.

Procedural guidance is provided by the Odessa Specialized Prosecutor's Office in the field of defense of the Southern region.
