Ukrainian secret service arrests man they accuse of helping Russians carry out attack on Kramatorsk

Ukraine’s counter-intelligence service say they have arrested “an agent of the Russian special services” who they accuse of helping Russia direct a missile strike that killed 10 people in the Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk.

The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) said the man lived in the city and was an employee at a local gas transportation company.

Vasyl Malyuk, the head of the Security Service of Ukraine, said in a statement: “The agent of the Russian Federation will definitely answer to the Ukrainian court. But his detention is also a signal to all other adjusters and traitors who work for the enemy. Remember – the punishment is inevitable!”

He added: “We constantly conduct legal work and continue to collect evidence for international courts.”

While I’d prefer it to be sunk, I take heart in the fact that having a superyacht in Vladivostok is only costing him money without providing any of the benefits of owning a superyacht.
