Officers in Donetsk say spies pass on coordinates or photographs of targets via Telegram in exchange for cash
Oleksandr Malish, the 29-year-old patrol police chief for the cities of Kramatorsk and Slovyansk in Donetsk region, is reluctant to call the suspected Russian collaborators Ukrainians.
“I cannot even call these people Ukrainians, even though they have Ukrainian passports and were born here and lived here all their lives,” said Malish. “These are not professional spies who were trained in Moscow and sent here.”
