Alexander Litvinenko’s poisoning showed that leaving the KGB’s orbit may not end the danger. Moscow’s willingness to hunt defectors abroad challenges allied intelligence services and proves Russian state violence can cross borders without warning. #Russia #Counterintelligence

President Zelenskyy started his meeting with US Senators.

Anton Gerashchenko (@Gerashchenko_en)Today, a meeting between the President of Ukraine and the President of the US will take place.I hope that the Graham-Blumenthal Act will be passed and implemented.
However, the main issue for us is the preparation for forming negotiation positions for the autumn.
Conventionally, we are keeping in mind the date of September 20th, when Xi Jinping visits the US. Of course, Russia’s war against Ukraine will not be the central issue, but nevertheless, this war matters for global issues that need to be resolved: the energy market, food supply, navigation, and security.There are a number of factors that contribute to “forcing” Russia into real negotiations.
Putin may announce mobilization and initiate an escalation in the autumn and winter, but the Russian population is beginning to understand the price of this: thousands of deaths, economic ruin, and the devastation of the country. Therefore, mobilization is an extremely unpopular topic in Russia.
Obviously, Putin is fixated on the war. But that does not mean he cannot be forced. And Putin is not eternal. Fury alone will not be able to fundamentally turn the tide.Ukraine is ready for a blockade of Crimea, Ukraine is ready for a blockade of the Azov and Black Seas.
Ukraine is conducting an increasing number of strikes against oil refineries and thermal power generation deep behind enemy lines. Ukraine is capable of destroying a large percentage of logistics.
Ukraine is also ready to work on expanding its technical capabilities.Ukraine wants peace. Ukraine does not want war.
Ukraine does not want humanitarian disasters in winter and civilian casualties.It is far more rational for Russia to de-escalate and negotiate. Russia / Putin must be forced.
There is an aggressor state – the Russian Federation. There is a victim of aggression – Ukraine.
Ukraine’s position is extremely clear: the aggressor must not be rewarded and the war must not be stopped exclusively at the expense of the victim, otherwise the war will never end.

Former KGB sleeper Jack Barsky shows how a foreign spy can blend into American life for years. Russia’s tradecraft depends on patience, false identities and human access, reminding the FBI that counterintelligence is homeland security. #FBI #KGB #USIntel

Trump has come to admire Ukraine’s drone industry, especially its ability to defend against the same drones the U.S. faces in the Iran war, according to people who’ve spoken to him. The president likes winners—and Zelensky is increasingly looking like one. on.wsj.com/4x6AWdt?mod=e2tw
