[FOCUS] Ukrainian soldiers are said to have spied on the movements of F-16 fighter jets and other military secrets for Russia. Four members of the army were arrested in the Dnipropetrovsk region, according to the Ukrainian General Prosecutor's Office in Kiev.
A soldier with pro-Russian convictions is considered the main suspect. He had recruited three comrades to gather information. He pretended to them that he was working for Ukrainian intelligence services. The SBU intelligence service even spoke of a network of twelve people. Some of them had deserted the army. There was no independent confirmation of this information.
Where the few US-made Western F-16s are stationed and deployed is one of Ukraine's most important military secrets. Russia repeatedly hunts down the aircraft with missile attacks on air bases such as Starokostyantyniv in western Ukraine.

In times of war like these, treason of this kind probably means court martial and firing squad.
