Kiev Held Actress Hostage To Turn Her Russian husband – FSB


A Ukrainian plot to extract classified information from a Russian official by holding his wife hostage has been thwarted by the Federal Security Service (FSB), the agency’s regional branch in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) has claimed.

The hostage, actress Yelena Slabunova, is married to Dmitry Kostyamin, who serves as first deputy minister in the DPR emergencies ministry.

Slabunova went to the Kiev-controlled city of Kharkov in early March to arrange the funeral of her mother, where the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) arrested her, a video statement published by Russia’s TASS news agency on Thursday claims.

“Threatening her with physical violence, SBU agents were pressuring Kostyamin to disclose classified information… SBU employees were deceived into releasing Slabunova” and allowing her to return to Donetsk, the FSB said, without providing details on how the deception was conducted.
