The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has arrested British national Ross David Cutmore for allegedly collaborating with Russia's FSB to carry out assassinations in Ukraine. Cutmore is accused of obtaining firearms and ammunition from the FSB. He faces up to 12 years in prison if convicted. The SBU claims Cutmore arrived in Ukraine in early 2024 as a military instructor before allegedly being recruited by the FSB in Odesa in September 2024. He was allegedly tasked with gathering information on foreign military instructors and training center locations in exchange for payment. The UK Foreign Office is providing consular assistance to Cutmore but cannot interfere in Ukraine's legal proceedings.
