"The Russian Federal Security Service detained in flagrante delicto the Ukrainian diplomat, consul of the Ukrainian Consulate General in St. Petersburg Oleksandr Sosoniuk, during his meeting with a Russian citizen to acquire classified information from the database of the Russian law enforcement agencies and the FSB in St. Petersburg on April 16, 2021," the FSB public relations center told journalists.
