Russia-Ukraine war live: EU could use frozen Russian asset profits for Ukraine’s military, says von der Leyen

European Commission president says ‘there could be no greater use for that money than to make Ukraine and Europe safe’

A court in southern Russia has jailed a Ukrainian man for 11 years and six months after convicting him of espionage for trying to procure secret missile components for Ukraine, Russian news agencies reported on Wednesday, reports Reuters.

Russian news agencies cited Russia’s FSB security service as saying that the man, who it named as 57-year-old Sergei Krivitsky, was an agent for Ukrainian military intelligence. They did not say whether he pleaded guilty or not.
