On July 30th, the Russian security service – FSB published a video of the detention of a serviceman of the Russian Black Sea Fleet who worked for the Ukrainian military intelligence. The arrest was carried out in Sevastopol, Crimea.

A criminal case on high treason has been initiated.

The video begins with operatives jumping out of a minibus and running into a man a couple of meters away, walking around the city in shorts and with a naked torso.

At the moment of detention, he shouts out several times:

“Ay-ay, don’t, guys, don’t hit me.”

There’s no use of force that can be seen in the video, he’s just picked up and thrown into a minibus, arrested, in a matter of seconds.

The video then shows how the detainee is taken out of the minibus and taken to jail.

The suspect of treason gets out of the car in jeans and a T-shirt. He is led by the arms at the door, next to which there is a sign “Sevastopol Garrison Military Court”.

In the building itself, the suspect is put into a cell. This video ends.
