2014-2016, the US Central Intelligence Agency has trained a new generation of Ukrainian spies, the elite unit "Detachment 2245", who work in Ukraine, Russia, Europe, Cuba and other countries with Russian influence. As part of this project, the CIA, together with Ukraine, created 12 spy bases along the Russian border — to track intelligence satellites, eavesdrop on conversations of Russian commanders, and gather information for covert operations.
▪️The unit captured Russian UAVs and communications equipment so that CIA technicians could hack Russian encryption systems;
▪️Budanov, a member of this unit, “was a rising star”. Known for "daring operations behind enemy lines and had close ties to the CIA";
▪️"Disguised in Russian uniform, then Lieutenant Colonel Budanov ferried commandos across a narrow bay on inflatable boats, landing at night in Crimea";
▪️The operation was not coordinated with the United States and caused sharp criticism from Washington.
Oh, he became independent! 😁

Two more Russian fighters knocked down. Now that the A-50s are not flying, it's easier to take down a fighter.

Russian Strategic Nuclear Forces are in full readiness for use, — Putin.
Furthermore, according to Putin, the “Zircon” sea-based hypersonic strike complex has already been used in the battle.
He added that Russia is currently completing tests of the “Burevestnik” nuclear-armed cruise missile and the “Poseidon” nuclear-powered unmanned underwater vehicle.
"The first mass-produced "Sarmat" intercontinental heavy ballistic missiles. And we will soon demonstrate them in the base areas on combat duty," he said.
Putin has traditionally repeated that "we did not start this war in Donbas" and once again stated that the Russian occupiers will do "everything to end it, to eradicate Nazism, to
solve all the tasks of the Special Military Operation”.
In addition, following Macron's words, Putin threatened "tragic consequences" for countries that dare to send their troops to Ukraine.
"They must understand that we also have weapons that can hit targets on their territory," the Russian president said.
Forbes suggests the absence of A-50 aircraft makes it easier to shoot down the Russian fighters.

In the certificate, Yuri has several diagnoses, renal dystopia, discogenic radiculopathy, he cannot walk for more than 15 minutes, bend his legs properly, or move sharply as he loses orientation.

Yesterday Yuri went to the new military unit to ask for another medical examination. According to a relative of the young man, military investigator Denis Grishan came and took him straight from the unit.
