This is like something out of a cold war novel. CNN was able to film Ukrainian secret police tracking and arresting a young Ukrainian who they believed was recruited by the Russians to provide military info. They show the special agents apprehending him as he walks down the street, and then are present as he is interrogated and basically sings like a canary.

According to the Ukrainian police in the story, they catch on average 1 or 2 of these people daily...It would be like if Indiana and Kentucky went to war, and all the Kentuckians in Indiana (and there are many) were transmitting info back to their handlers in the Bluegrass...There's just too many of them infested on this side of the River to be able to keep track of all of them...
