Suspect Caught in Cherkasy Region for Passing Information on Ukrainian Military Personnel to the FSB
In the Cherkasy region, a local resident suspected of treason was apprehended. According to the investigation, the man collected and passed on information to Russia’s FSB regarding the deployment locations of Ukrainian Armed Forces units.
