Ukraine has cultivated a network of agents and sympathizers inside Russia working to carry out acts of sabotage against Russian targets and has begun providing them with drones to stage attacks, multiple people familiar with US intelligence on the matter told CNN.
US officials believe these pro-Ukrainian agents inside Russia carried out a drone attack that targeted the Kremlin in early May by launching drones from within Russia rather than flying them from Ukraine into Moscow.
It is not clear whether other drone attacks carried out in recent days – including one targeting a residential neighborhood near Moscow and another strike on oil refineries in southern Russia – were also launched from inside Russia or conducted by this network of pro-Ukrainian operatives.

Update #2: Ukraine Operates Sabotage Cells, Smuggles Drones in Russia – CNN (Moscow Times)
WNU Editor: The above CNN report should surprise no one. Since the start of the war attacks on critical Russian infrastructure have been reported daily. Ukraine's intelligence services have also been implicated in a number of successful assassination operations within Russia itself.
Kiev is exploiting an irreparable Russian weakness vis-a-vis the border crossings with the Baltic states. These people are moved in and out of the country using these border crossings, which Russia cannot simply close without disrupting the lives of tens of thousands of people. Doing that would go against the Kremlin’s causus belli so fundamentally that Moscow will let it’s arm be twisted in any number of ways in order to keep them open, let alone any discussion of having them closed.
ReplyDeleteJust wait till Russia starts arming anti-government factions in the west. Hint: we don’t have much of a protected border here either
DeleteResponsible countries don’t do that because they have allies to maintain relationships with. Aspiring hegemons, however, have only vassals, and do whatever they wish without concern themselves with global opinion. The payoff of self restraint comes 15 years from now when nobody wants to deal with the west at all.
