Russia's Federal Security Service
(FSB) says it has captured a Ukrainian security officer who volunteered
to spy for Moscow and will send him back because they believe he is a
double agent.
In a statement quoted by Russian news agencies, the FSB, the main KGB
successor agency, said the man, Yuri Ivanchenko, was detained on March
26.
The FSB said on March 31 that Ivanchenko traveled to Moscow to offer
his services to the FSB. It claimed that the CIA had helped the
Ukrainian security service prepare Ivanchenko for the mission aimed at
eventually exposing his Russian contacts. It said Ivanchenko will be
sent home.
Relations between Russia and Ukraine have been tense after Moscow's
annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula and support for a separatist
insurgency in eastern Ukraine.
