The Security Service of Ukraine said on Monday they have uncovered an “operational-combat group” working for Russian military intelligence in Kharkiv. In June, the suspects used explosives to blow up a Ukrainian soldier’s car, and were allegedly plotting new sabotage acts against Ukrainian troops.
The group of saboteurs included four Kharkiv locals: a software engineer, a former military serviceman, and two unemployed individuals. Acting under the guidance of a “DNR special forces” operative collaborating with Russia’s GRU, they targeted Ukrainian personnel and planned further attacks.
Their June plot saw them track the victim’s car and plant a homemade explosive device underneath it. The explosion inflicted critical injuries on the soldier.
After their first attack inflicted critical injuries on the Ukrainian serviceman, the group went about new acts of sabotage. They made another explosive device and were going to hide it in their forest cache. They were also tasked to plant explosives at the railways to derail a train carrying military equipment for Ukraine’s Armed Forces.
One of the saboteurs was caught attempting to hide the explosive device in a wooded area, while the others were detained at their residences.
All suspects can face treason and sabotage charges under Art. 111, 263 of Ukraine’s Criminal Code.
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.
