The agent, a decorated counterintelligence officer with nearly two decades of service, specialized in Russian espionage operations and had previously been commended for his work uncovering sleeper cells and disinformation networks operating inside the U.S.

    yep.

    Fwiw, the article is fine, it doesn’t offer anything untrue. And the site isn’t “shady”, it’s just one of many new websites that profit from heightened attention on Ukraine. This is also reported here and there’s of course the documentary which I already downloaded for later consumption.

    I admit it’s a bit thin, but ultimately all articles about the GRU’s activities are going to be. Russia is closed for any flow of objective information.

    Yet we need to talk about it and spread out and combine what we have.

    And what we have paints a very likely and very damning scenario.
