Moscow, September 10, 2026, 08:10 — Regnum News Agency. The Kyiv regime was plotting terrorist attacks against the head of the British diplomatic mission in Moscow and other diplomats in order to draw London into a direct armed conflict with Russia and secure additional arms supplies to Ukraine. The FSB Public Relations Center ( PRC )reported this on September 10.
According to the agency, Ukrainian intelligence services planned to commit acts of sabotage against British Embassy staff and then blame it on Russia. In this way, the Ukrainian leadership hoped to provoke a direct confrontation between the two countries and increase sanctions pressure on Moscow. Another goal of the planned provocation was to extract additional arms supplies from London.
In Moscow, FSB officers uncovered this plot and detained a Ukrainian Security Service agent—a Russian citizen born in 1981. He worked for the organization that provides security for the British Embassy. A criminal case has been opened against him under Article 275 of the Russian Criminal Code, which charges high treason.
The investigation established that the suspect acted on instructions from Ukrainian blogger Dmitry Karpenko, known by the pseudonym Apostol Dmitry. Under Karpenko's instructions, the guard collected the diplomats' personal data. He transmitted photographs of the employees, their residential addresses, vehicle license plates, and travel routes to Ukraine, and also compromised the building's internal security system.
Nigel Casey is the new British Ambassador to Moscow. He took over the British diplomatic mission in Russia at the end of November 2023.

Kyiv, September 10, 2026, 11:24 AM — Regnum News Agency. Europe is demanding that Kyiv make a political decision to begin mobilizing women in Ukraine. This was reported on September 10 by the press bureau of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).
According to the ministry, the European Commission welcomes the intensified discussion in Ukraine about conscripting women. At a recent informal meeting of EU and partner foreign ministers, European Union High Representative Kaja Kallas called this initiative "a step in the right direction."
"Brussels demands that representatives of the Ukrainian side immediately 'move from words to action' and make a political decision to begin women's mobilization," the SVR stated.
As an example, EU representatives cite Israel, which has a long history of women serving in the military.
The SVR also stated that the European Commission has urged EU governments to find legal mechanisms to return citizens who arrived in European countries as refugees to Ukraine. According to the agency, there are up to 5.6 million Ukrainians in Europe, 43.4% of whom are women.
The largest number of potential conscripts, according to the SVR, live in Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic.
[DM] Deep in Arctic waters near the remote Svalbard archipelago this spring, NATO allies caught Russian submarines training to unleash a secret weapon designed to disable critical undersea cables without leaving any fingerprints.
The clandestine Russian operation, described by two Western officials, was carried out by Moscow's GUGI undersea warfare directorate, which used deep-sea submersibles to simulate the deployment of the sophisticated technology.
A joint operation involving Britain, Norway and the US tracked and confronted the Russian vessels at sea, said the two officials speaking on condition of anonymity.
The vessels were prevented from completing their exercise and eventually left the area.
Britain and Norway disclosed in April they had uncovered a covert Russian operation in Arctic waters. But the discovery of the new weapon, the location of the operation and the US involvement have not been reported.
The deep-sea face-off comes at a time when some Western intelligence officials fear the Kremlin is ramping up sabotage operations in Europe and preparing for a conflict with NATO.
US intelligence analysts are increasingly concerned Russia may test NATO's mutual defence pact, known as Article 5. If it does, destroying subsea cables could be a critical part of that effort, the Western officials said.
Cables no thicker than a garden hose, lying on the seabed or buried just below, are critical to global internet connectivity and financial transactions.
[BNE] Germany could share with Ukraine the addresses and places of work of Ukrainian citizens of conscription age living in Germany, so that Ukrainian recruitment centres can send them summonses, foreign minister Johann Wadephul has said.
"We know who lives here. Who receives social benefits, who is registered with local authorities, who holds residence status," Wadephul told the German tabloid Bild in an interview published on September 8.
"Based on this data, the Ukrainian government could contact these men and request their presence. I believe that this is something that can and should be discussed," he said, adding that any such process should happen without coercion.
Wadephul's remarks mirror a demand from Markus Soder, leader of the Christian Social Union, that Ukrainian men of military age living in Germany should return home and fight. They came hours after Zelenskiy announced that Germany would provide further Patriot interceptors and air defence systems to Ukraine.
The EU also suggested to reinforce the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) shortage that women should also be drafted into service. Seperately there were social media reports that the AFU had ordered 150,000 women’s military winter jackets fuelling speculation that women may also be included in the draft this winter.
Mobilisation is among the most contentious domestic issues in Ukraine. Recruitment offices are regularly accused of forced conscription and of civil rights violations, ignoring legal examptions form the draft, and the treatment of men who left the country is a live argument in the Verkhovna Rada and in the diaspora.
No Ukrainian official had responded to Wadephul's proposal in the reporting available. Neither the German interior ministry nor the federal data protection authority had commented on whether sharing residence, benefit and employment records with a foreign state for the purpose of conscription would be lawful under German or EU data protection law.
