[Regnum] Federal Security Service officers detained a resident of Sevastopol who, on instructions from Ukrainian curators, tried to set fire to a section of the railway near the Balaklava Thermal Power Plant. The FSB reported this on November 12.
"The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation has prevented an attempt to commit a terrorist act at a transport infrastructure facility in Sevastopol near the Balaklava Thermal Power Plant," the agency reported.
The arson was planned by a 29-year-old resident of Sevastopol. He approached a representative of the Security Service of Ukraine on his own initiative in September last year. The Sevastopol resident was given the task of disrupting the operation of railway transport. To do this, he had to set fire to specialized equipment.
The man received money from his handler and used it to buy flammable liquid. He did not manage to complete the SBU assignment: FSB officers detained him at the crime scene.
The FSB Investigative Department opened criminal cases against the Crimean under Article 275.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Cooperation on a confidential basis with a foreign state, international, or foreign organization”), Part 3 of Article 30, Part 1 of Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Attempted terrorist act”).
As reported by the Regnum news agency, in early November a local resident was detained in Crimea who was transmitting data to Kiev about the location of military facilities in Feodosia. He was photographing air defense systems. The man himself contacted the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry. A criminal case was opened against him under Article 275 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("High Treason").
On November 8, the FSB detained a resident of Naberezhnye Chelny in Tatarstan, suspected of collaborating with a Ukrainian terrorist group. He transmitted data on defense industry facilities and military registration and enlistment offices to Kiev, and hid components for making a Molotov cocktail in the forest, acquired on instructions from his curators. A criminal case was opened against the man under Part 2 of Article 205.5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Participation in the activities of a terrorist organization”).
[Daily Mail, where America gets it news] Russia has suffered its deadliest day of the war in Ukraine so far, with 1,950 soldiers killed in just 24 hours, according to the Ukrainian army.
Vladimir Putin's losses in the war against Ukraine are piling up after thousands of Russian soldiers died in the last two days alone, with 1,770 soldiers being killed on Sunday and another 1,950 on Monday.
The record number of 1,950 troops dying within a day serves as fresh humiliation for Putin after his two-day Kursk counter offensive on the weekend ended with 28 tanks blown up and 100 troops killed, according to reports.
Footage shows Russian armoured vehicles, each of them carrying about 30 troops, driving over landmines in Kursk before exploding, with some injured soldiers crawling out of the wreckages as the smoke dissipated.
Russia lost more than 710,000 troops since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion almost three years ago, the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces said this week.
Despite the heavy losses, Moscow is pushing forward with its 'meat assaults' and continues to advance at its fastest rate since 2022, with Ukraine's armed forces chief admitting this month that it is currently facing 'one of the most powerful' Russian offensives since the war broke out.
Ukraine's incursion into Russia's Kursk region has stalled, and Moscow has reportedly massed a force of 50,000 soldiers as it aims to reclaim the territory taken from it three months ago.
Kyiv said last week its forces had clashed with some of the estimated 11,000 North Korean soldiers sent to the region to support Moscow, with some experts saying their deployment could be partly due to the heavy Russian losses.
Volodymyr Zelensky said at the time of the August incursion into Kursk that the taking of Russian territory could serve as a bargaining chip with Moscow.
But, stretched by manpower shortages, Ukrainian forces have lost some of the ground they captured in August incursion, and have continued to lose large swathes of its own territory.
The record number of daily Russian losses on Sunday (1,770 troops) and Monday (1,950 troops), which surpasses the previous peak of 1,730 in a day back in May, is broadly in line with estimates from Western countries.
The number of Russian soldiers killed and injured averaged 1,500 'every single day', UK Chief of the Defence Staff Sir Tony Radakin told the BBC on Sunday.
Russia is making huge sacrifices in order to secure 'tiny increments of land,' Radakin said, but added that it continues to make 'tactical, territorial gains,' and is 'putting pressure on Ukraine'.
Sir Tony said that the Russian people were paying an 'extraordinary price' for Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion, saying that October was the worst month for losses since the conflict began in February 2022.
The cost of the war, which he put at more than 40 per cent of public expenditure on defence and security, is also 'an enormous drain' on Russia.
The past weekend saw the largest drone attacks by Russia and Ukraine since the war began, with the barrages impacting large swathes of each country and hundreds of drones downed, including in the Moscow region.
Strikes have intensified amid expectations that US president-elect Donald Trump will put pressure on both sides to end the conflict.
Trump repeatedly said throughout his campaign that he could end the war 'in a day', without saying how.
[10News] Make the bitch serve them all! Jack Teixeira
...the somehow spoilt brat who managed not to understand discretion despite being a second generation military intelligence guy, sharing copies of all sorts of interesting things with his international online gaming group...
pleaded guilty earlier this year to six counts of willful retention and transmission of national defense information under the Espionage Act.
A federal judge on Tuesday sentenced a Massachusetts Air National Guard member to 15 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to leaking highly classified military documents about the war in Ukraine.
Jack Teixeira pleaded guilty earlier this year to six counts of willful retention and transmission of national defense information under the Espionage Act following his arrest in the most consequential national security case in years. Brought into court wearing an orange jumpsuit, he showed no visible reaction as he was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani.
Before being sentenced, he apologized for his actions.
“I wanted to say I’m sorry for all the harm that I brought and caused,” Texeira said, referencing the “maelstrom” he caused to friends, family anyone affected overseas. “I understand all the responsibility and consequences fall upon my shoulders alone and accept whatever that will bring,” he said, standing as he addressed the judge.
Afterward, Teixeira hugged one of his attorneys and looked towards his family and smiled before he was led out of the court.
The security breach raised alarm over America’s ability to protect its most closely guarded secrets and forced the Biden administration to scramble to try to contain the diplomatic and military fallout. The leaks embarrassed the Pentagon, which tightened controls to safeguard classified information and disciplined members found to have intentionally failed to take required action about Teixeira’s suspicious behavior.
Teixeira, of North Dighton, Massachusetts, had pleaded guilty in March to six counts of the willful retention and transmission of national defense information under the Espionage Act. That came nearly a year after he was arrested in the most consequential national security leak in years.
The 22-year-old admitted that he illegally collected some of the nation’s most sensitive secrets and shared them with other users on the social media platform Discord.
His attorneys described Teixeira as an autistic, isolated individual who spent most of his time online, especially with his Discord community. They said his actions, though criminal, were never meant to “harm the United States.” He also had no prior criminal record.
“Instead, his intent was to educate his friends about world events to make certain they were not misled by misinformation,” the attorneys wrote. “To Jack, the Ukraine war was his generation’s World War II or Iraq, and he needed someone to share the experience with.”
Prosecutors, though, had countered that Teixeira does not suffer from an intellectual disability that prevents him from knowing right from wrong. They argued that Teixeira’s post-arrest diagnosis as having “mild, high-functioning” autism “is of questionable relevance in these proceedings.”
Teixeira, who was part of the 102nd Intelligence Wing at Otis Air National Guard Base in Massachusetts, worked as a cyber transport systems specialist, which is essentially an information technology specialist responsible for military communications networks. He remains in the Air National Guard in an unpaid status, an Air Force official said.
Authorities said he first typed out classified documents he accessed and then began sharing photographs of files that bore SECRET and TOP SECRET markings. Prosecutors also said he tried to cover his tracks before his arrest, and authorities found a smashed tablet, laptop and an Xbox gaming console in a dumpster at his house.
The leak exposed to the world unvarnished secret assessments of Russia’s war in Ukraine, including information about troop movements in Ukraine, and the provision of supplies and equipment to Ukrainian troops. Teixeira also admitted posting information about a U.S. adversary’s plans to harm U.S. forces serving overseas.
This feels like the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact — which one will hack the other’s banks first? And how much fun will certain white hats have waltzing unnoticed through backdoors while the parties of the first and second parts are thus engaged? Finally, will spy squirrels be involved?
[IsraelTimes] Iranian bank cards can now be used in Russia, state television ... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
reports, as the two countries link their banking systems in the latest bid to counteract sanctions.
Iranian banks have been excluded since 2018 from the SWIFT international financial messaging service, which governs the vast majority of transactions worldwide. The move is part of a raft of sanctions that were re-imposed on Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... after the United States withdrew from a landmark 2015 nuclear deal.
Iranian bank cards can now be used in Russia, state television ... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
channel IRINN says, showing the withdrawal of money using an Iranian bank card from an ATM in Russia.
The operation was made possible by connecting Iran’s interbank network Shetab to its Russian equivalent Mir, the channel says.
Iranians can currently withdraw money in Russia, and will in the future be able to use their cards to pay for in-store purchases, it adds.
"The plan is also going to be implemented in other countries that have a wide range of financial and social interactions with Iran, for example Iraq, Afghanistan and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... ," it says.
Both Iran and Russia have sought to counteract the effects of sanctions on their economies.
