SBU says it busted Russian spy network, including ex-members of Yanukovych's security
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) said on Aug. 14 it had uncovered a Russian intelligence cell that included two former members of ex-President Viktor Yanukovych’s security detail and an active member of Ukraine’s National Guard.
Yanukovych was Ukraine’s pro-Kremlin head of state who held office from 2010 until 2014, when he fled to Russia in the wake of the EuroMaidan Revolution.
Two former members of Yanukovych’s security were part of a Russian spy cell that collected information on high-ranking officials and security agencies to eliminate, manipulate, or recruit Ukrainian functionaries, the SBU said.
