Are Ukrainian Moles Aiding Russian War Effort?

Ukraine’s security forces recently detained a Russian spy working for the armed forces.

Oleksiy Arestovych, an adviser to the head of the President's Office, said during an interview with Feygin Live that several other persons who had no connection to the military headquarters were also exposed.

"One of the Russian spies is an employee of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The others had been tasked with shooting down a passenger plane over Russia or Belarus. After that, they would blame the Ukrainian side," Arestovych said.

He added that this false-flag attack was allegedly supposed to be carried out using Ukrainian portable anti-aircraft missile systems. The spies planned to obtain the weapons through volunteers. “To this end, they had been trying to win trust of the latter, giving them real data on the movement of Russian troops, giving away the coordinates of Ramzan Kadyrov’s ethnic Chechen unit,” the official said.

"There are three components to this story that describe everything that’s happening in the Russian army now. The first is shooting down a passenger plane, the second is deceiving their leadership, and the third is setting up the Kadyrovites (paramilitary organization in Chechnya, Russia)," Arestovych alleged.

On April 25, Ukraine’s state-owned Ukroboronprom announced that the Security Service of Ukraine detained one of its leading engineers for his possible involvement into missile strike on the enterprise. Another employee who allegedly provided coordinates to the Russians to launch missile strikes on an Ukroboronprom plant was also arrested. He allegedly directed artillery fire after strikes.
