Ukraine’s Security Service, the SBU, said on Friday they have arrested a Russian GRU agent accused of orchestrating arson attacks on military vehicles in Kyiv. The plot was part of a Russian intelligence’s campaign to stir public unease in Ukraine to “Russia’s advantage”.
According to the SBU, the agent was responsible for coordinating the recruited arsonists and providing instructions on making incendiary devices. She was caught in the act while attempting to film one of the arson attacks.
To uncover the sabotage plot, the SBU used a “double agent”—a local resident previously suspected of preparing an arson attack—to help identify the spy. Evidence seized includes a homemade incendiary device and a mobile phone with proof of her activities.
The suspet, who had relocated to Kyiv from occupied Tokmak, had been contacted by a GRU officer offering money for her collaboration.
The lady is now facing charges of state treason under Article 111, Part 2 of the Ukrainian Criminal Code. If convicted, she faces 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.
