'Husband In The Dark': Ukraine Soldier's Wife Leaked Military Unit's Location To Russian Forces

The Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) has reportedly arrested the wife of one of its soldiers for leaking classified military information to Russian forces.

The "traitor" was identified as a 31-year-old woman from the city of Dnipropetrovsk.

She reportedly leaked the locations of her husband's military unit and key facilities used by Ukrainian armed forces as the war in Kyiv and surrounding areas intensified.

The woman, who has not been named, gave Russian intelligence whereabouts of the frontline positions of high-powered equipment in the eastern cities of Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia.

The SBU said the woman began working for the enemy in May. In return for the information, Russia allegedly promised citizenship, and a high standard of living for the woman once the Ukraine war was over.

Ukrainian officials arrested the woman on Sept. 2, seizing communications equipment such as computers from her home, the Defense Post reported.

The SBU said the woman "used her husband in the dark," asking for his military unit's location. She was able to acquire data regarding the advanced positions of other Ukrainian forces, and handed the intel to Russian Federation military intelligence through messengers.

The data was then used by Russian forces to launch artillery, mortar, and air strikes on enemy positions.

"She took such a step despite the fact that she is married to a serviceman of the Armed Forces and they have a son together. Her husband, being on the eastern front, regularly transferred money for the maintenance of the child," the Ukrainian government's main intelligence and security agency said.

Last month, the SSU had detained an agent of the Russian special services, who collected intelligence on the location and movement of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Territorial Defense and passed it to the occupiers.

The messages sent by the agent included "accurate coordinates" of defense facilities on the map, detailed descriptions of the facilities' condition, number of military personnel and equipment at the sites, among other details.

The secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council vowed last month to find and hold accountable citizens, who have been working for and providing intelligence to Russia.
