Sabotage from a safe distance
Who is behind the new GRU tactics in Europe

Since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, very strange things have been happening in European countries almost every month.
- Migrants protesting against Erdogan appear on the streets of Paris, pretending to be Ukrainians, military plants suddenly catch fire in Germany and England, and saboteurs planning explosions on railways are caught in Poland and the Czech Republic

All of this is a consequence of the new tactics of Russian military intelligence, better known as the GRU.

- After the high-profile failures of Petrov and Boshirov, the unsuccessful organization of a cyberattack on the OPCW office in The Hague, and the almost complete exposure of the servicemen of military unit 21955 by journalists, the #GRU began to rely much less on its own officers in its foreign work.

-
Of course, the mass expulsion of diplomats, many of whom were also GRU "cover agents" at embassies, also had an effect. Now the intelligence officers lead operations from Russia, and the main actors have become "agents-group leaders" - hired curators who organize sabotage on the ground. In this way, military intelligence hoped to keep the identities of at least some officers secret – but it failed

Today, the Dossier Center introduces readers to a new team of GRU officers responsible for sabotage abroad.

Through prison to Russia
On March 2, 2024, a police bus brought a dented man with a green plastic bag to Riga City Court. He and two other accomplices were accused of intentional damage to property. According to the investigation, several days earlier they threw a Molotov cocktail at the Riga Occupation Museum, which tells about the periods of German and Soviet rule in Latvia.

"Strike forces are being formed": Romanenko assessed the plans of the enemy in Ukraine and indicated the key tasks of the Armed Forces

"If there are forces and reserves in all directions, then perhaps they will make some attempts. To date, it seems that they are gathering enough reserves to be able to continue combat operations on the eastern front, in the #Pokrovsky and #Toretsk directions, plus add forces to #Kharkiv direction," former deputy chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Ihor Romanenko, said in an exclusive interview with .

He added: given the fact that a large group is gathered in the Zaporozhye direction, the invaders may set themselves the task of regaining control over the positions they lost in 2023.
Russian troops are currently gathering reserves to continue hostilities in the east, as well as in the Kharkiv direction. In addition, the strike forces are being formed in the direction of Zaporizhzhia , where the occupiers will probably seek to regain the positions lost in 2023 and reach the city of Zaporizhzhia .

This opinion was expressed in an exclusive interview with by former Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Ihor Romanenko . In particular, he commented on the information of the operational group "Tavria" that the Russian Federation had gathered 90,000 occupiers in the Zaporizhzhia direction, and the probability of a change of emphasis by the enemy (currently, according to the General Staff , Pokrovsky and Toretsky directions are the hottest).

Ihor Romanenko added: given the fact that a large group is gathered in the Zaporozhye direction, the invaders may set themselves the task of regaining control over the positions they lost in 2023.

"And in essence, of course, they need to reach such an important target for them as the city of Zaporizhzhia. That is why such strike forces are being formed. We had a negative experience last year, when we did not fully gather resources in order to act in one direction , and they tried to advance on four, and the result is known. Based on this experience, the enemy's plans to act simultaneously in the Kharkiv, Pokrovsky, and Toretsk directions, as well as in the Zaporizhia directions, are not rational," he said.

#Ukraine️ is mass-producing long-range strike drones: Ukroboronprom announced their characteristics

Ukraine has started serial production of its own long-range strike drones. These drones are used to attack strategic enemy targets at a distance of more than 1,000 km.

General Director of Ukroboronprom Herman Smetanin told about this. According to him, Russia has huge resources and super-powerful industry, so Ukrainians had to become more non-linear and innovative.

"We have become more non-linear and innovative. Russia has huge resources and super-powerful industry, so it makes no sense to blindly copy its approach. We are forced to be more flexible and inventive. (...) Our enterprises, which have established close cooperation with private individuals, made a significant contribution and helped them scale production," said the director of the state concern.

At the same time, Smetanin warned against underestimating such a powerful enemy as Russia.

He added that the achievements in some areas, where we are ahead of the enemy, became possible thanks to the titanic efforts of the employees of our defense enterprises.

What we managed to outpace them in was achieved by the titanic efforts of the employees of our defense enterprises. For example, in some areas, we are faster at mastering new technologies for us," said the general director of Ukroboronprom.

Putin pardoned the most dangerous serial killers and maniacs: who has already lit up the war in Ukraine, and who is waiting to be sent

Russia has sent tens of thousands of convicted criminals who signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation to fight against Ukrainians. However, despite statements that not particularly dangerous of them will be released, the reality turned out to be different. Putin even pardoned serial killers and maniacs who cost many human lives.

Maniyakam - "green light"

The recruitment of convicted criminals in the zones was initially led by Yevgeny Prigozhin and his thugs from the so-called "Wagner" PMC, then the matter passed into the hands of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Zekas who signed the contract were promised pardons, good pay and freedom after half a year of service. If, of course, they survive the war in Ukraine.

Later, some conditions changed, but this did not diminish the desire of murderers and rapists to escape from their cells.

And in March 2024, Putin signed a law that clarifies the mechanism of exemption from criminal liability of "participants of the SVO". According to it, the only exceptions are suspects, accused or serving sentences for crimes against sexual integrity of minors, terrorism, as well as against the constitutional order and security of Russia . That is, from that moment on, the Kremlin officially gave the "green light" to particularly dangerous killers.

Who has already come to light in Ukraine

Information about those who fight in the ranks of the Russian occupiers, in the Russian Federation, they try not to publicize once again, but the information still leaks into the network. Yes, the other day it became known that "Zelenograd Chikatilo" Yury Hrytsenko was among those who got out of prison .

He is a former employee of internal affairs bodies. He committed the first murder in 1993, for which he served nine years (he was released from the colony on parole a year and a half earlier). As a result of the maniac hunt in Moscow and Moscow suburbs, five more women were killed and ten were injured.

The #Kremlin is trying to maintain the appearance of stability after the events in Dagestan: the ISW assessed the situation

Putin's regime in Russia is trying to maintain the appearance of stability in response to terrorist attacks in #Dagestan. In particular, the dictator Vladimir Putin does not even plan to make a special address after the terrorist attack.

The Kremlin also announced that Russian society is "absolutely consolidated" in its lack of support for terrorist attacks in Dagestan and Russia in general. This is stated in the analysis of the Institute for the Study of War.

Ukrainian Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) Head Lieutenant General Kyrylo @ChiefDI_Ukraine stated that Western military assistance is arriving in #UKRAINE, but that it will likely not arrive at a scale that will significantly impact the frontline situation until at least mid to late July 2024. Budanov stated in an interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer conducted on June 12 or 13 and published on June 23 that US and European weapons deliveries, including artillery ammunition, are arriving in Ukraine at a faster pace than several months ago but noted that Ukrainian forces need a high volume of weapons and "there is a question of volume."[1]

Budanov stated that "no Armageddon will emerge [on the frontline]" but that the frontline situation will remain difficult for at least one month. Ukrainian First Deputy Defense Minister Lieutenant General Ivan Havrylyuk also recently stated on June 15 that Ukrainian forces are still waiting for most of the military assistance that the US passed in late April 2024 to arrive in Ukraine, but that limited amounts of US security assistance arrivals have reduced Russia's artillery shell advantage from seven-to-one to five-to-one.[2]

ISW continues to assess that Russian forces are attempting to make tactically and operationally significant gains before US military assistance arrives to Ukrainian forces at the frontline at scale, and that the initial arrival of Western-provided weaponry will take some time to have tactical to operational effect on the frontline.[3]

Budanov stated that a sufficient quantity of US-provided long-range ATACMS missiles could allow Ukrainian forces to strike the Russian-built Kerch Strait Bridge in occupied Crimea and sever an important Russian ground line of communication (GLOC) between occupied Crimea and Russia.[4]

Budanov stated that Ukraine could isolate occupied Crimea, which the Russian military uses as a rear staging area, by conducting long-range ATACMS missile strikes against the Kerch Strait Bridge. The Russian military continues to use Crimea's GLOCs to transport military personnel, weapons, materiel, and fuel from Russia to the frontlines in Ukraine and reinforced its air defense umbrella to cover occupied southern Ukraine from Crimea.[5]

Ukrainian officials have recently stated that Russian forces have reduced their military logistics transport across the Kerch Strait Bridge, presumably due to efforts to establish logistics lines connecting mainland Russia and occupied Crimea through occupied southern Donetsk, Zaporizhia, and Kherson oblasts, but the Kerch Strait Bridge likely remains essential to maintaining Russia's occupation of Crimea.[6]

- Ukrainian long-range strikes against the Kerch Strait Bridge would sever an important GLOC for Russian forces based in occupied Crimea and likely complicate their ability to maintain their occupation of and basing within the peninsula. The destruction of the bridge would force Russian military to rely on the long route along northern coast of the Sea of Azov and exacerbate vulnerabilities for Ukrainian forces to exploit along the Russian main GLOC.

/3
Current US policy regarding Ukraine's use of Western-provided weapons allows Ukraine to strike anywhere within Russian-occupied Ukraine, which presumably includes using long-range ATACMS to strike the portion of the Kerch Strait Bridge within Ukraine's internationally recognized land and maritime borders.[7]

- ISW assesses that 13 kilometers of the Kerch Strait Bridge — which Russian authorities built without Ukraine's approval following Russia's illegal occupation of the peninsula in 2014 — are within Ukraine's internationally recognized territorial waters. The US policy on the Ukrainian ATACMS use, therefore, technically should allow Ukrainian forces to strike at least a section of the bridge if not the entire bridge.

- Pentagon Spokesperson Major Charlie Dietz also notably stated on June 24 that “Ukraine makes its own targeting decisions and conducts its own military operations."[8]

- Then–US State Department Spokesperson Heather Nauert stated on May 15, 2018, that the US condemns Russia's construction and partial opening of the Kerch Strait Bridge, that the bridge "serves as a reminder of Russia’s ongoing willingness to flout international law," and represents Russia's attempt to "solidify its unlawful seizure and its occupation of Crimea."[9]
