Russian global espionage

Together with the FBI and EU law enforcement, Ukraine’s SBU security service disrupted a Russian military intelligence (GRU) operation that used compromised Wi‑Fi routers to spy on Europeans, Americans, and Ukrainians, the SBU said on April 7.

On Dec. 3, the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) reported that a New York district court had revoked the bail of Russian citizen Nomma Zarubina, who had earlier been charged, among other counts, with working for Russian intelligence. Following an emergency hearing, the court ordered her taken into custody. NV English obtained additional documents related to Zarubina’s case that expose an extensive global network of Russian espionage and influence operations — evidence that the Kremlin is building a civilian ecosystem to shape international narratives.
