Ukraine’s Security Service said they have arrested four men in Donetsk region who spied on Ukrainian troops to help the enemy troops pinpoint strikes of their precision-guided bombs. All four men are local residents from communities in Donetsk. Acting independently, each of them carried out specific assignments from Russian handlers—some of them were motivated by pro-Russian views, while others looked for quick money through Telegram channels, which ultimately saw them agree to become spies.
Under orders from Russian intelligence, these agents scouted and shared coordinates of Ukrainian defensive positions in the Lyman, Kramatorsk, and Sloviansk areas. Two detainees, from Lyman and Sloviansk, spied on Ukrainian artillery positions controlling enemy assault groups, gathering intelligence for Russia’s FSB.
The third detainee, a Kramatorsk resident, agreed to become an FSB agent to coordinate Russian airstrikes on military hospitals treating wounded Ukrainian soldiers.
The fourth suspect worked with Russia’s GRU, pinpointing bridge locations used to transport Ukrainian armored vehicles to the eastern front.
All four of the suspects are to stand trial over espionage and treason charges.
They remain in custody and face potential life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
