“According to the investigation, on February 23, 2014, the former president of Ukraine, while on the territory of one of the military units of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation in the Gagarinsky district of the city of Sevastopol, incited the military personnel of the State Security Department of Ukraine, who were directly performing tasks to ensure his personal security, to the point of desertion”the Prosecutor General’s Office said in a statement.
As a result of such actions by the ex-president of Ukraine, the former deputy head of the State Security Department of Ukraine – head of the Security Service of the President of Ukraine evaded further military service and left for the Russian Federation, the report says.
