The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has arrested a FSB agent who spied under the guise of a delivery man. The man was caught gathering coordinates helping to pinpoint Russian missile strikes in the Chernivtsi region.
The spy snooped on transportation hubs, railway routes, and medical facilities treating Ukrainian soldiers.
Finding a courier job, the Russian FSB agent traveled around Chernivtsi on his scooter, collecting information about the “critical infrustructure” locations and sending it via Telegram to Russian operatives.
The man who had been found spreading ‘pro-Kremlin narratives’ on social media was caught red-handed on Thursday as he was compyling his report for the FSB.

The main practical benefit for citizens is the complete elimination of the need to contact an enforcement officer in person and wait for paper decisions once the debt has been paid.

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.

It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.
Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.
Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end. This was emphasized by Rinat Akhmetov, president of FC Shakhtar, during a working visit to UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, where he met with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.
