Obtaining a sum of money and Russian citizenship was temptations that were enough to push a Ukrainian young woman to reveal the location of a Ukrainian battalion so that the Russian forces might bomb her, knowing in advance that her husband was among the members of the battalion and she had a son from him.
In the details of the case revealed by the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU), the woman, a 31-year-old soldier’s wife and mother from Dnipropetrovsk, informed Russian intelligence regarding the location of military buildings and the locations of military equipment in Donetsk and Zaporizhia, two regions that witnessed heavy fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces.
The security service added that it arrested the woman for disclosing the whereregardings of the military unit to her husband and other information regarding the army to the Russian forces, according to the website “Insider”.
According to a statement issued by the State Security Administration, the unnamed woman is a “traitor.”
The accused sought the help of her husband and “requested information regarding the location of his military unit and other groups of the Ukrainian armed forces in advanced positions,” according to a statement by the State Security Administration.
“She took this step even though she is married to a soldier in the armed forces and they have a son together. Her husband on the Eastern Front regularly transferred money for child support,” the department said.
She added that she “sent classified intelligence information regarding the location of her husband’s military unit and other Ukrainian formations to a Russian soldier.”
And she added that the Russian soldier passed the information “to the Russian Military Intelligence, which shared it with the combat groups on the front lines, and used it in artillery shelling, mortar shelling and air strikes.”
She explained that she “promised to obtain Russian citizenship and a high standard of living if they succeeded in seizing the region.”
She pointed out that “the woman began spying for the Russians in May, and was arrested on September 2, and the Ukrainian forces confiscated her computer and smartphone.”
