The former commander of the Ternopil corvette is currently fighting on the side of the occupiers against Ukraine.
State Bureau of Investigation employees have completed a pre-trial investigation into the former commander of the Ternopil corvette, the agency reported.
The indictment was sent to the court.
After the occupation of the military unit in Sevastopol and the Ternopil corvette in 2014, the captain of the III rank became the only one of the crew who went over to the side of the invaders and swore allegiance to them.
Currently, the traitor is fighting against Ukraine as part of the armed forces of the Russian Federation on the patrol ship “Ladny” in the position of assistant commander. He takes part in pirate raids of the occupiers, patrolling the captured Black Sea waters, and performs other criminal tasks.
A former Ukrainian soldier is accused of treason (Part 1 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). He faces up to 15 years in prison.
We will remind, in November of last year, the ex-officer of the corvette “Ternopil” was informed about the suspicion.
