A former US embassy employee in Vladivostok has been charged with espionage. The Russian secret service FSB already arrested a former employee of the US embassy in Vladivostok in May. The Russian citizen collected information about a “military special operation” on behalf of the US embassy, the FSB said on Monday.

If convicted of colluding with foreign powers to the detriment of national security, the suspect faces up to eight years in prison.
