Ukraine’s Military Intelligence Directorate was quietly approached by a military pilot from Russia’s 22nd Heavy Bombardment Aviation Division listed as military unit 06987, soon after a missile strike on the “Okhmatdyt” children’s hospital in Kyiv, according to a Informational Resistance report.
“Appalled” by the violent attack, the pilot reportedly offered the Ukrainian intelligence the documents on his unit’s activities along with the personal photos of the officers serving in the 22nd Heavy Bombardment Aviation Division.
The leaked documents include personnel files of the senior officers and their familis, as well as classified documents of the 22nd Heavy Bombardment Aviation Division.
“We hope to release some of these documents soon. Today, we are publishing private photos from the party celebrating Colonel Ilya Koryakin’s promotion to to chief of staff of the 22nd Heavy Bombardment Aviation Division. Celebrated at the ‘Naples’ restaurant in Engels, the event brought together 30 command staff members from the division of the long-range aviation command of the Russian Aerospace Forces,” said the report.
In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now.

In 2025, the deadliest year yet for civilians, Ukraine’s three largest charitable foundations raised a record 105.9 billion hryvnias. It is more than the years 2022–2024 combined. According to the UN, humanitarian aid in Ukraine was delivered by more than 450 organisations, reaching five million people over the course of the year. Civic foundations hold licences to purchase lethal weapons, which is a function states have monopolised for centuries. These record sums were underwritten by international government grants, which means foreign states now channel billions directly through Ukrainian civic funds, bypassing inter-state channels. It is hard to imagine a stronger institutional trust in civil society.
