Tension between Kiev and Moscow is expected to be on the high following the arrest of an Ukrainian journalist Roman Sushchenko by the Russian intelligence agency FSB which claims that Sushchenko is an Ukrainian military officer spying on Russian forces.
The Russian intelligence agency also claimed in a statement that Sushchenko has been collecting information about the Russian Armed Forces.

“Roman Sushchenko purposefully collected state secret information on the activities of the Russian Armed forces and the National Guard troops, which could have harmed state defence capabilities if leaked abroad,” the FSB said in a statement.
In a swift reaction, Sushchenko’s employer, the Ukrainian news agency Ukrinform, have condemned his arrest, saying it was carried out in breach of international law.
