A former British soldier has been arrested for allegedly helping Russia assassinate Ukrainian politicians in exchange for money, intelligence officials said.

Ross David Cutmore was detained by Ukraine’s state security service in October after he was accused of importing and doling out weapons that were used in the slayings of three prominent Ukrainians, the Kyiv Independent reported.

Months after he arrived, he allegedly quit the job and started acting as a spy for the Kremlin.

He later provided the weapons used to murder politician, Andriy Parubiy, as well as activists, Demian Hanul and Iryna Farion, officials alleged.

Cutmore, who had experience from serving in the British Army and a stint in the Middle East, went to Ukraine last year to help train Ukrainian army personnel as a military instructor.

The Ukrainians should have just taken him outside and executed him.

Arguably, if the evidence is clear in the corruption cases, that’s what the Ukies should do with any corrupt officials when the money amounts total, oh, say, 1 million US $ or more.

Corruption on that level is effectively treason, given the Ukies’ situation. Military tribunal & hanging.

“I have seen some dumb people on here. But you top the list.”

Nope, you hold the top spot by either lying about your history with the CIA or else frivolously exposing yourself just to impress some random person on the internet.

If true, your cavalier exposure of your past should be of concern to anyone who pays attention to such things.
