Fascinating @shustry profile of Russian agent Andriy Derkach

His dad was KGB officer at Ukrainian factory that made missiles for the Soviet Union including rocket the US named Satan designed to carry nuclear payload big enough to wipe out American cities

time.com/6052302/andriy…
Andriy Derkach released Biden tapes but how he got them is a mystery

My chart showing Derkach, Giuliani, Artmenko and his network
