Counterintelligence of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), together with British intelligence services, exposed UK citizen Ross David Cutmore, who, according to the investigation, carried out tasks for Russian special services in 2024–2025, sources in the SBU report.
It is noted that the detainee was likely engaged in intelligence and sabotage activities in Ukraine. He is currently under arrest and remains in custody.
According to the source, in 2024, Cutmore arrived in Ukraine as an instructor to help train servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He had combat experience gained during his military service and participation in operations in the Middle East.
The interlocutor also stated that, according to the investigation, Russian intelligence services provided Cutmore with firearms and ammunition to carry out "targeted killings" in Ukraine. In particular, there are grounds to believe that he imported and distributed the weapons used to kill Demyan Hanul, Iryna Farion, and Andriy Parubiy.
