The Federal Security Service announced the detention in Simferopol of the Russian troops Dmitry Dolgopolov and his acquaintance Anna Sukhonosova, TASS reports . They are charged with the collection and transfer of Ukraine to the special services of Ukraine that constituted state secrets on the activities of units and formations of the Black Sea Fleet.

A criminal case has been instituted against Dolgopolov and Sukhonosova under Article 275 of the Criminal Code (state treason), which provides for 10 to 20 years of the colony.
In the evening, the detainees were taken to Moscow. The Moscow District Military Court placed Dolgopov and Sukhonosov in a pre -trial detention center.
In November last year, in the annexed Sevastopol in the case of espionage in favor of Ukraine, a former military man of the Black Sea Fleet, retired captain of the second rank Leonid Parkhomenko, was detained. According to the FSB, he, "fulfilling the task of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, collected and transmitted the foreign service to the foreign service of information about the activities of the Black Sea Fleet."
The representative of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine on ATO issues, Andrei Lysenko, said regarding the detention of Parkhomenko: "In fact, this is another fake." Information of Moscow, explained the interlocutor of the publication, "is a continuation of the Russian series of the FSB."
“As we said earlier ,” Lysenko continued, “the Russian intelligence service to facilitate work, continues to use the database with the personal affairs of the former military personnel who served in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine or the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation.” In fact, the representative of the Ministry of Defense concluded, these people have long been leading civilian life and have nothing to do with the army.
In the future, the investigation of the Parkhomenko case, also excited under Article 275, was not reported. Such things have a “secret” vulture.
