INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Russia's security service (FSB) accused a resident of Tyumen in Siberia of handing military information to Ukraine and detained him,
state-run news agencies reported Wednesday.This is the latest in a string of treason or espionage cases linked to Ukraine, with trials often
held behind closed doors and few details seeping through.The FSB said a resident of the Siberian region of Tyumen had sold Ukraine
information on military facilities located in his region, according to a report from TASS.He was placed in pre-trial detention, TASS said,
and risks up to life imprisonment.Investigators launched a case into "high treason in the form of helping a representative of another state
commit activities against the security of Russia," according to the FSB statement cited by TASS.Russian authorities have increasingly
arrested citizens on suspicion of high treason, as well as sabotage or spying for Ukraine.The cases are often classified as secret, meaning
there is little information available, fueling fears from Russian rights groups that the charges are fabricated.
