MOSCOW — A U.S.
citizen who was spirited out of eastern Ukraine by Russian special forces after helping the Kremlin target Ukrainian troops said in Moscow on Saturday he had asked for Russian citizenship. “My name is Daniel Martindale,” he told a press conference, state media reported. “Here is my passport. It went through the war with me, you can see in what condition it is,” he said in English, holding up what appeared to be a well-used U.S. passport and birth certificate.
“I’ve wanted to go to Russia for a long time, I realized that this is the moment I’ve been waiting for,” he was quoted as saying. An unidentified Russian intelligence source quoted by the RIA state news agency said Martindale had supplied information to Russian forces about the location of key Ukrainian infrastructure for two years. No further detail on the information he gave to Russia was disclosed.
