A senior Ukrainian bank official has been arrested on charges of aiding Russia, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) said in a statement on Telegram on Saturday. The man allegedly made regular financial donations to the Russian military through a crypto exchange, the statement claims.
The identity of the suspect has not been revealed, but the SBU said he headed the “Information Systems Department in one of Ukraine’s biggest banks.” According to investigators, the man used his own funds to support the Russian military. After the start of Russia’s military operation against Kiev in February 2022, the banker allegedly created an account on one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, which he used to regularly transfer money to the Russian military.
