The suspected traitor shared intelligence about the countrys border resilience measures, the security agency has alleged

A suspected Russian traitor has been taken into custody for allegedly transmitting classified information to Ukraine, the Federal Security Service (FSB) has announced.

A brief statement on Monday identified the suspect as an employee of the central office of a Russian agency responsible for overseeing government operations.

Last year, he allegedly reached out to the Ukrainian government, offering "information about efforts to protect industrial and energy sites in the border areas of the Russian Federation," as well as details on troop deployments.

If found guilty of treason, the suspect could face a life sentence.

The administration of US President Donald Trump has mediated a partial ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, with both sides pledging to suspend attacks against energy infrastructure.

The measure, which is meant to build momentum for a more comprehensive truce currently being negotiated in Saudi Arabia, was not honored by Kiev, according to the Russian military. Officials have accused Ukraine of launching a kamikaze drone strike against an oil transfer station in Russia's Krasnodar Region and blowing up a gas metering station in Kursk Region.

Moscow has said that while its commitment not to attack Ukrainian energy sites holds, it reserves the right to pull out of the deal if Kiev continues to violate it.
