According to a report in the "Wall Street Journal", Major Brandon Tyner, an American officer, was arrested in Great Britain on suspicion of spying for Russia. He was stationed in Britain as part of the NATO Response Force, a unit designed to manage the alliance's ground forces in the event of a military conflict or crisis.
The report indicates that he was arrested during a covert operation, while talking to the British authorities, without knowing who he was talking to. He is expected to stand trial in both the United Kingdom and the United States.
