Ukraine's Security Service (SSU) has notified a resident of the Lviv region that he is suspected of treason, accusing him of helping prepare a Russian missile strike on drone-manufacturing facilities in western Ukraine.
According to the SSU, the man acted on instructions from Russian intelligence services as part of an effort to direct a strike against sites used to produce drones for Ukraine's military. Western Ukraine, including the Lviv region, hosts a number of defense-industrial facilities that have increasingly become targets as Russia seeks to disrupt Ukrainian weapons production away from the front line.
The case is one of a series of treason and collaboration investigations Ukrainian authorities have pursued throughout the war, as security services work to identify individuals allegedly assisting Russian targeting efforts inside Ukrainian territory.
Further details on the suspect's specific role, and on any resulting legal proceedings, have not been made public.
