A Scottish military instructor, Ross David Cutmore, is jailed after admitting he spied for Russia while working in Ukraine. According to reporting from multiple outlets, Cutmore, from Fife, provides information that includes details about Ukrainian military training and the movement or deployment of Ukrainian forces. The BBC reports that he admitted passing on information about training bases and the deployment of Ukrainian forces. The Daily Mail says he transmitted information about the Ukrainian military in return for payment after being recruited to act as a Russian spy. Both sources describe Cutmore’s role as a military instructor in Ukraine and his acceptance of information-sharing in exchange for compensation, following recruitment to work for Russian intelligence. The coverage is consistent that he admitted the conduct and that a court in the UK has sentenced him to a jail term. The reports do not indicate any direct combat involvement by Cutmore, focusing instead on intelligence-related activities connected to his instruction work.
