Great Britain said on Thursday that it was in contact with Ukraine after the arrest of a former British army instructor, whom Kyiv accused of spying for Russia.

Britain’s Foreign Office told AFP on Thursday that it was “aware of reports of the detention of a British citizen in Ukraine.”

“We remain in close contact with the Ukrainian authorities,” the ministry said in response to an AFP inquiry about the case.

The SBU previously announced the arrest in Kyiv of a former foreign military instructor, who is suspected of passing information on other foreign military instructors in Ukraine and the coordinates of army training centers to Moscow.

The Prosecutor General’s Office stated that the man is a citizen of Great Britain who arrived in Ukraine in 2024 and was conducting military training for the army. According to the OGP, he collected information about facilities in Odesa, conducted negotiations on the possibility of using explosive devices and tried to establish access to the command of military units, for one of these tasks he received 6,000 US dollars.

Ukrainian law enforcement officers regularly report the detention of persons they call Russian agents. They are suspected of treason, sabotage on the order of the Russian special services.
