The SBU has levied a charge of treason in absentia against Oleksiy Olkhovsky, who leads the combat section of a Russian submarine. He bore the responsibility of guiding and mapping the route for Kalibr cruise missile strikes targeting Ukraine.
Ukraine’s Security Service stated they have accumulated evidence against another turncoat who switched allegiance to the adversary and is now engaged in conflict against Ukraine. This individual is Oleksiy Olkhovsky, serving as the commander of combat unit No. 1 aboard the Russian Varshavyanka-class submarine (designated Kilo by NATO) 636.3. This information comes via the SBU’s media department, as UNN reports.

As a reminder from the Security Service, in December 2025, one such submarine was struck by the SBU’s “Sub Sea Baby” underwater vehicles.
The inquiry reveals that Olkhovsky, aged 30, had been a member of Ukraine’s Armed Forces stationed in Crimea since 2012. However, following the seizure of the Ukrainian peninsula, he violated his oath and sided with the opposition.

The inquiry further determined Olkhovsky’s active participation in war efforts as the chief of a combat unit on a Russian Black Sea Fleet submarine.
In this role, the defector was tasked with overseeing and navigating the submarine, as well as establishing the trajectory to operational posts from which the invaders unleash Kalibr cruise missiles throughout Ukraine.
Key “aims” of the submarine’s crew encompass civic infrastructure sites and vital services crucial for the well-being of our country’s population.
Based on the amassed proof, investigators from the Security Service have formally accused Oleksiy Olkhovskyi, in absentia, under Article 111, Part 1, of Ukraine’s Criminal Code (high treason).
Given Olkhovsky’s location within Ukraine’s temporarily occupied area, exhaustive strategies are underway to locate and bring him to justice.
