Counterintelligence officers of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) have discovered and detained a member of the Russia-backed illegal armed formations in Luhansk region who was hiding in Dnipro city.
“Officers and investigators of the special services established that a resident of Luhansk, a former paratrooper, joined the pro-Russian fighters and participated in hostilities as part of a reconnaissance company of one of the illegal armed groups,” the press service of the SBU reports.
After he left the “service”, he decided to hide in Dnipro where he found a job.
At the moment, the detainee was informed about the suspicion under Part 2 of Article 260 (creation of armed formations not provided for by law or participation in their activities) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The issue of choosing a preventive measure in the form of arrest is being resolved.
