The serviceman told the woman that he allegedly had personal connections with officials involved in the search and exchange of prisoners of war.
The suspect repeatedly misled a gullible woman under various pretexts, who, at his request, transferred funds to the so-called "colonel" for a total of UAH 70,000 over several months," the statement said.
He was detained while transferring the last part of the money - UAH 30,000.
