Romania has arrested a spy who has been passing data on military equipment for Ukraine to the Kremlin for 2 years.

Since 2022, the defendant has been observing Romanian or NATO military facilities located on the outskirts of Tulcea. He collected military information and photographed military equipment and military vehicles, and the movement of personnel in the border area with Ukraine. He sent the data to the staff of the Russian Embassy in Bucharest, according to the DIICOT (Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism).

This is the first arrest in Romania, the center of Western military and humanitarian supplies to Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion of the country.
