A former high-ranking Ukrainian intelligence official, Colonel Dmytro Kozyura, has been sentenced to life imprisonment for high treason. Ukraine's prosecutor general announced that Kozyura, who previously served as the chief of staff for the Security Service of Ukraine's (SBU) anti-terrorism centre, was found guilty of spying for Russia's FSB security service. The conviction was handed down under martial law, following an operation, reportedly codenamed "rat," that uncovered his activities, including the use of a safehouse. This case highlights ongoing efforts by Ukrainian authorities to address internal security threats amidst the conflict.
