Sentenced to 12 years of imprisonment by the Major of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who in 2014 tried to hijack a Su-24 reconnaissance aircraft into Russia, is Yury Kireev, former deputy commander of the squadron for work with the military personnel of the military unit V-2806..

The verdict to the military man who violated the Military oath was pronounced on June 6 by the collegium of judges of the Khmelnitsky city district court headed by Oleg Antonyuk.

It is noted that during the year 2014 the serviceman regularly reported to the Russian special services about the performance of combat missions in the ATU zone. In particular, on 1 and 3 August Kireev informed in advance the representatives of Russia about the departure from Mirgorod aerodrome in the Poltava region on the reconnaissance aircraft Su-24MR for special combat reconnaissance flights to the zone of the ATU. After completing the flights, the major sms-report reported "curators" from the country-aggressor.

On September 8 of the same year, Kireev again informed the Russians about the implementation of a special reconnaissance flight to the Su-24MR from the aerodrome of Starokonstantinov Khmelnitsky region along the state border of Ukraine with the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation to Mirgorod airfield.

On the same day Kireyev, flying over the Shostka of the Sumy region, refused to fulfill the navigator's request for a right turn and direction of the aircraft to the course in the direction of Lebedin of the Sumy region and sent the aircraft to the state border of Ukraine and the Russian Federation.

"Approaching the state border line, realizing the absence of any possibility to independently reach the airfields on the territory of the Russian Federation and to successfully land the aircraft, Kireev did not fly over the line of the state border of Ukraine and took him to the planned Shostka-Lebedin flight line and completed the flight ", - writes the edition.

The intelligence also found out that Kireev in June, 2014, with the help of his brother-clergyman, who came to him from the Khabarovsk Territory of the Russian Federation, established contact and agreed to cooperate with representatives of the Russian special services, in particular the GRU of the General Staff, and received from them the task of seizing a combat aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force , In order to carry out a flight across the state border.

For this major traitor Russian special services promised the military rank of colonel, an apartment, 30 thousand.

Dollars and the employment of his wife.

It is also noted that Kireev planned to visit the Russian Federation in the summer of 2014, but was refused by the command of the military unit. After that, he sent his wife to Russia, who directly met with representatives of the special services of the Russian Federation.

In addition, in the spring of 2014 the pilot distinguished himself among servicemen with his frankly pro-Russian position and anti-Ukrainian statements.
