Two Russian men, identified as Ivan and Foma, have disclosed their involvement in covert operations supporting Ukrainian intelligence against military targets in Russia. They claim to have participated in drone attacks and provided intelligence on high-ranking military officials, including the recently assassinated Lt Gen Fanil Sarvarov. Their accounts highlight the risks they face and the challenges of verifying their activities.
The men express their opposition to the Putin regime and believe their actions could influence the war's outcome. While the Ukrainian intelligence agency GUR has confirmed their collaboration, it remains cautious about the reliability of such operatives, emphasizing the difficulty in assessing the broader network of individuals engaged in similar activities within Russia.
