The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has detained British national Ross David Cutmore for allegedly obtaining firearms and ammunition from Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) to carry out assassinations in Ukraine, according to reports. Cutmore could face up to 12 years in prison and confiscation of property, according to the SBU.

While some reports have claimed Cutmore was a British army veteran, his military service remains unclear, as does whether the uniform he is pictured wearing is from the British military.

When asked about his military service record, the U.K. Ministry of Defense referred Fox News Digital to the U.K.’s Foreign Office.
