Authorities say Cutmore arrived in Ukraine in early 2024 under the pretext of training soldiers in firearms and tactical skills but later allegedly contacted Russian intelligence, offering to cooperate. Investigators claim he was instructed to collect information on foreign military trainers, pass on coordinates of Ukrainian training sites and retrieve a weapon from a hidden cache. He also reportedly received instructions on how to build improvised explosive devices. Cutmore is accused of relaying military data to Russia and of planning undisclosed terrorist attacks. If convicted, he could face up to 12 years in prison.
