Ukraine’s Security Service, SBU, said Thursday it has detained two Russian FSB spies who used a diguies of a newlywed couple to spy on the “maritime defense” of the Odesa region to help Russia pinpoint it strikes on “military infrastructure” sites.
According to the SBU, a 23-year-old Odesa native and his 18-year-old “fiancée” were gathering intelligence at the border guard service sites at Ukraine’s major port city. Acting as a loving couple on a strall, they secretly took pictures of the military-related sites and later sent them to a Russian secret service operative.
The investigation found the spies had been also ordered to put up 100 “provocative leaflets” complaining about the conscription campaign, and set fire to a local power substation.
Recruited this May through an anonymous Telegram channel while discussing conscription issues, the man later found help from his girlfriend.
The spies are now facing treason charges under Articles 111, 114 of Ukraine Criminal Code of Ukraine.
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.
