Australian police said on Friday that a man has been charged with foreign interference for allegedly seeking to inform Russia about Ukrainian military activities.
The 27-year-old Russian-Australian citizen had "military style" training in Russia and later joined the Ukrainian armed forces, Australian Federal Police commissioner Krissy Barrett said at a news conference.
"We don't want Australia to become a safe haven for people who are undertaking foreign interference on behalf of other countries," she said.
