Where the versions diverge
The Russian group reports that the man was found guilty of state treason and acted on instructions from Ukrainian intelligence services; Suspilne describes this as the prosecution’s version and writes that he had contact with a representative of Ukraine’s GUR. Both groups report a sentence of 16 years and an account of a photograph of a Black Sea Fleet ship and information being passed via a messenger. Suspilne also mentions a case involving a Sevastopol resident accused of passing information about the location of a fleet unit, without specifying whether it is connected to this sentence; the roundup contains no material from an independent group.
