Ukrainian national sentenced to over 10 years for spying in Crimea

Crimea’s Supreme Court sentenced Ukrainian national Konstantin Davydenko to 10 years in a maximum security prison on charges of spying for the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU), Russia’s Federal Security Service said.

Davydenko was detained by Russia’s FSB in Simferopol in February 2018. 

"It has been confirmed that Davydenko, who had been recruited by Ukraine’s SBU and was on a spy mission, deliberately collected data for Ukraine’s special service on the advanced pieces of military equipment, electronics, third-generation communication means and night-vision devices, and these leaks could have harmed Russia’s security," TASS cited the FSB as saying.
