Context
Ukrainian and Polish law enforcement agencies detained Kyrylo Molchanov in April of this year. The investigation established that he was recruited and worked simultaneously for two special services of the aggressor country: the FSB and the foreign intelligence of the Russian Federation. At the direction of the occupiers, he was engaged in discrediting Ukraine in the international arena and worked to destabilize the internal situation in the partner countries of our state.
The SBU also collected evidence against 12 members of the "Other Ukraine" group, including Kyrylo Molchanov, who works in Moscow.
