A Kuban resident has been arrested in a treason case.

A resident of Kuban, whom security forces suspect of transferring money to a person collecting funds for the Ukrainian military, has been taken into custody.

A resident of the Krasnodar Territory, born in 1988, is suspected of treason "in the form of providing financial assistance to a foreign state in activities directed against the security of Russia," the FSB announced today.

According to security forces, the woman transferred money "to a person collecting funds on the territory of Ukraine to supply military units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine."

"A criminal case has been opened and is being investigated against the detainee on the grounds of a crime under Article 275 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (high treason). The accused has been remanded in custody," the FSB website said.

"Caucasian Knot" also wrote about the case of Kevin Lik from Maikop, a citizen Germany and Russia, who was sentenced to four years in prison in December 2023 on charges of treason. According to investigators, Lik, as a schoolboy, observed a military unit and photographed its locations. According to an acquaintance, Lik had previously posted photos of flowers and plants in the mountains on social media, as well as several portraits of himself, one of which was taken against the backdrop of a memorial armored train in Tula. Lik's case was the first case in Russia in which a schoolchild was charged with treason; previously, the youngest defendants in treason cases were college-age people.

In August 2024, Lik and 15 other convicted individuals, including human rights activist Oleg Orlov (included in the register of foreign agents), were released as part of a prisoner exchange with Western countries.
