Ukraine's SBU security service has arrested five individuals, including two senior officials from the ministry of defence, for an alleged $40m arms fraud involving a contract for 100,000 mortar shells.

Alleged Ukrainian Plot to Overthrow Georgian Government Unveiled

The State Security Service of Georgia (SSG) has accused a senior Ukrainian official, Giorgi Lortkipanidze, of plotting to overthrow the Georgian government by organizing mass unrest.

Ukraine's Security Service Unveils Tactics Behind Crimean Bridge Attacks

The head of Ukraine's Security Service, Vasyl Malyuk, revealed in an interview that Ukrainian intelligence orchestrated the explosion on the Crimean Bridge in October 2022. Malyuk and two trusted employees developed and executed the plan, opting to use a truck filled with explosives covered in cellophane film to evade detection. The operation was carried out exclusively by Ukraine's Special Service, who deactivated Russian electromagnetic warfare systems to allow the truck to detonate in the middle of the bridge. Malyuk also mentioned that Russia falsely imprisoned 22 individuals, accusing them of complicity in the act of terrorism.

Ukraine's Security Service Takes Credit for Crimea Bridge Blast

Ukraine Identifies Russian General Suspected of Ordering AN-225 Mriya Destruction

Ukraine's Security Service has accused Russian Lieutenant General Anatoly Kontsevoi of ordering the destruction of the world's largest cargo jet, the An-225 Mriya, during the invasion of Ukraine. The airport where the plane was located was considered an important objective for Russia because its capture would have helped them establish a marshaling point for an attack on the capital. If convicted, Kontsevoi faces up to 15 years in prison. There have been efforts to raise funds to build a new Mriya, but it remains an open question whether a new An-225 will arise from the ashes before the man accused of ordering its destruction is arrested.
