Breaking: Ukraine's SBU say they just arrested a deep-cover GRU sleeper agent in Ukraine; say he was supervising DNR's own mini-GRU, including #MH17 suspect Dubinsky. Dozens of phone intercepts showing involvement of FSB chief Bortnikov. ssu.gov.ua/novyny/%D0%A1%…
If so, this might turn out to be the most informed, highest ranking witness (or suspect?) in the MH17 case. Unless he gets swapped again, like Tsemakh...

One comment on the call intercepts: wow. They are from late 2014 early 2015. "Andrey" arranges meetings for MH17 indicted suspected Dubinsky and Krot with Putin's aid Surkov and FSB's chief Bortnikov...
.. tries to solve internal scuffles among FSB and GRU-controlled factions within DNR... tries to keep Dubinsky in place even though "a decision was made in Moscow to terminate your unit" etc etc. Incredible evidence for the chain of command investigation in MH17.
Plus, the calls reconfirm the crucial role of "Vladimir Ivanovich" in deciding who gets to do what in Donbass in 2014. Earlier we identifed this Vladimir Ivanovich as Gen. Andrey Burlaka, FSB deputy border chief bellingcat.com/news/2020/04/2…
Here are the call intercepts in the original Russian. Not sure if English translation is out yet.
We will publish a report on this and possible implications for MH17 tomorrow
