Law enforcers have detained and expelled from Russia Yuval Lanzman, a former Israeli Defence Force soldier, who had planned to go to Ukraine and fight against the Russian Armed Forces.
According to investigators, Yuval Lanzman, born in 1960, sent his data to terrorist organizations banned in Russia in order to join them.

Mr Lanzman was warned about the inadmissibility of participating in a terrorist organization; and law enforcers ensured that he left Russia for further relocation to Israel. He is also barred from entering Russia.
