Australian police charge dual Russian-Australian citizen with foreign interference over Ukrainian military intelligence
Australian Federal Police charged Vladimir Teslov, a 27-year-old dual Russian-Australian citizen, with attempted foreign interference after he allegedly joined Ukraine's military and attempted to share military information with individuals he believed were Russian intelligence agents. Teslov travelled to Russia for military-style training in October 2024, then joined Ukraine's armed forces in May 2025, where he accessed information on personnel, units, and locations. He was arrested in Brisbane and refused bail, with his matter adjourned to October 2.
