The Russian-Ukrainian espionage war continues:

  • In the UK, two men and a woman were arrested under the National Security Act for assisting Russian intelligence. All three have now been released on conditional bail while the investigation continues.
  • A Ukrainian operative dressed as a woman was arrested by Russian security services after an assassination attempt of a Russian defense executive.
  • Russia's FSB personnel arrested a woman in her fifties who detonated explosives in order to sabotage the Trans-Siberian Railway.
  • The nefarious Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) in Ukraine continues working with Russia's FSB. One of Vladimir Putin's demands from Dummkopf Trumpf and Volodomir Zelensky is that the ROC be left alone in Ukraine. 180 criminal cases into unlawful activities by ROC priests have been opened since Russia's brutal invasion in Feb 2022; among the suspects are 23 bishops.

    The Kremlin continues waging 'hybrid warfare' against Western countries supporting Ukraine. One tactic has been recruiting rightwing hooligans to conduct arson or sabotage attacks in the UK or instigating them to attack foreigners. Felon Musk recently encouraged rightwing white supremacists in London, leading to a riot and 26 injured constables. Recently a Belarusian KGB network was rendered ineffective by NATO CI agents. The NATO counterintelligence posture for sabotage and espionage remains HIGH in Europe. Ukraine's superb espionage apparatus continues their sabotage operations against the Kremlin, but even their operatives get caught as we see here. Each spy or saboteur caught becomes a future prisoner swap between Kiev and Moscow. Sources: Railway Sabotage; Ukraine Bomb Plot Foiled; ROCOR Kremlin Asset. An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC for war crimes remains active for Vladimir Putin. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
