Ukrainian admits being recruited by Belarusian KGB


After eleven years of living in Belarus and on returning to Ukraine, the Ukrainian came to the Security Service of the Chernihiv region and admitted that he had been recruited by the State Security Committee of Belarus (KGB).

As follows from the decision of the Repki district court of the Chernihiv region of January 4, 2018, due to a voluntary confession, a citizen of Ukraine was released from criminal liability in the treason case.

The document notes that in 2006-2017, the Ukrainian permanently resided with his wife in the Khoiniki district of the Homiel region. But in June 2017 the Belarusian authorities deprived him of his residence permit, and he had to return to his parents in the village of Repki, Chernihiv region. But he regularly visited his wife in Belarus and filled the car there.

In July 2017, during a regular trip to Belarus, under the threat of deportation and prohibition of entry into Belarus, the KGB officer offered the mann to cooperate with the organization. The man agreed by signing the relevant confidential documents. The Ukrainian was supposed to receive assignments and transfer collected information to Belarus during personal meetings with a KGB officer in Novaya Huta.

It was about collecting intelligence information about road transport and the personnel of the State Border Service of Ukraine and law enforcement agencies of Ukraine located on the territory of the Repki district of the Chernihiv region near the border with Belarus, as well as information about local residents who took part in the antiterrorist operation in the territory of Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

In October 2017, a criminal case was opened against the Ukrainian in connection with part 1 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — high treason. This crime is punishable by imprisonment for the term of 12 to 15 years.

However, since the Ukrainian voluntarily appealed to the SBU with a statement about his connection with representatives of the foreign special services, and the investigation did not establish the damage caused to the state interests of Ukraine, he was released from criminal responsibility.
