Live from Ukraine
Sumy All checkpoints for entering and exiting the oblast were writing from are staffed by personnel from the СБУ, Ukraines special services. While ЗСУ soldiers remain present,the agents managing access and determining who can pass through the barriers are now wearing balaclavas and are in contact with the central intelligence headquarters in Kyiv.
This measure allows for more direct and coordinated control over both the incoming flow and the outgoing movement, enabling thetracking of suspicious activities, especially now thatevacuationhas been ordered in many villages, while at least a dozen others are known to be under Russian control. The permanent and widespread presence of the СБУ which also guards all the internal checkpoints of this oblast also makes it easierto track down infiltrators, saboteurs and Russian spies, which represent a problem of no minor importance in a context of incessant and precise attacks such as those that have been plaguing Sumy for months now. Beyond the increasingly frequent ambushes by Russian ДРГ raiders which we have miraculously survived it is pretty clear thatMoscow has managed to introduce into Ukraine a dense network of informantswho take photographs, send coordinates, record movements, and in turn engage other pawns who are more or less aware of their role.
To this end, Kremlin agents have reportedly gone so far asto recruit young Ukrainian suicide bombers through social networks, offering small sums of money to minors in exchange for carrying out seemingly ordinary tasks, such as delivering a package.
The fear that the enemy could intercept signals, listen to speeches, record the movement of vehicles, or detect the presence of troops has led the Ukrainiansto remove many infrared camerasthey had installed to monitor traffic on the road network in Sumy. During our recent travels to the border areas, we noticed that many devices had been positioned facing the ground or turned towards blind corners. This was likely doneto prevent Russian hackers from picking up their signals. Furthermore, the webcams with public IP addresses have been inactive for the past three years.
In the context of extreme espionage, the recent attacks by the Russian Federation on Ukraine are significant. These includethestrike on the Chernivtsi railway station, which wasfollowed by a larger-scale attack intended to disrupt the Carpathian railway network. Additionally, there have beentwo recent attacks on Ternopil, a strike on Zhytomyr last week, andtwo serious attacks that occurred over the weekend in Zaporizhzhia and Poltava.
On Saturday,three Shahed drones precisely struck a humanitarian aid depot in Zaporizhzhia, causing an estimated three million euros in damages.This attack has severely impacted internally displaced persons in the country, depriving them of crucial assistance that the Beluga UA team has been providing at that hub since the war began.
On Sunday,a joint missile and drone attack severely damaged the energy and agricultural infrastructure of Kremenchuk, causing significant harm to power lines throughout the Poltava region.
In a recent intervention aimed at urging Kyivs partners to impose truly stringent sanctions on the Russian terrorist regime, President Volodymyr Zelenskyj of Ukraine has announced that all the countrys intelligence agencies (including the СБУ and the ГУР) have significant data proving thatthe Russian Federation is planning further missile attacks against Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
Take a walk around Sumy to witness the disastrous results of the Kremlins secret activities aimed at gathering information for launching targeted and devastating attacks as described.
In the video reports we recorded for the website and YouTube channel of the Italian newspaper La Ragione, we captured the smoking wreckage of what were once thriving food companies places where bread was baked, fish was processed, and food was canned.
Despite the weak response from the international community,nearly a century after the genocide of the Holodomor, Moscow continues to target Kyivs resilience, aiming to reduce Ukrainians to hunger, darkness, and cold. The explosions, which resonate through the air even in the center of Sumy, barely a few kilometers away, force us to deliver this article early as we seek shelter.
These events do not signal better times ahead.
密集的俄羅斯間諜網

來自烏克蘭的報道
蘇梅（Sumy）我們現處的州的所有出入口檢查站，均由烏克蘭國家安全局（СБУ）的人員把守。雖然烏克蘭武裝部隊（ЗСУ）的士兵仍然在場，但負責管理通行和決定誰可以通過的特工現在都戴著巴拉克拉法頭套，並與基輔的中央情報總部保持聯係。
這項措施能夠對進出人流進行更直接和協調的控製，從而追蹤可疑活動。尤其是在許多村莊已被下令疏散，且至少有十幾個村莊已在俄羅斯控製下的情況下。烏克蘭國家安全局的長期和廣泛存在其也負責守衛該州的所有內部檢查站使得追蹤滲透者、破壞分子和俄羅斯間諜變得更加容易，這在蘇梅幾個月來一直遭受頻繁和精確襲擊的背景下，是一個不容小覷的問題。除了俄羅斯破壞和偵察小組日益頻繁的伏擊之外我們從這些種奇跡般地幸存了下來很明顯，莫斯科已經成功地在烏克蘭境內建立了一個密集的線人網絡，他們拍攝照片、發送坐標、記錄行動，並反過來與其他或多或少意識到自己角色的烏奸接觸。
據報道，為此，克裏姆林宮特工甚至通過社交網絡招募了年輕的烏克蘭自殺式炸彈襲擊者，向他們提供少量金錢，以換取他們執行看似普通的任務，例如遞送包裹。
由於擔心敵人可能會攔截信號、竊聽談話、記錄車輛移動或探測到部隊的存在，烏克蘭人拆除了他們安裝的許多紅外攝像機，這些攝像頭原本用於監控蘇梅道路網絡上的交通。在我們最近前往邊境地區的行程中，我們注意到許多設備被放置成麵向地麵或轉向盲角。這樣做可能是為了防止俄羅斯黑客竊取他們的信號。此外，帶有公共IP地址的網絡攝像頭在過去三年中一直處於非活動狀態。

在極端間諜活動的背景下，俄羅斯最近對烏克蘭的襲擊意義重大。其中包括對切爾尼夫齊鐵路站的襲擊，隨後是一場更大規模的襲擊，旨在破壞喀爾巴阡鐵路網絡。此外，最近還發生了兩起對捷爾諾波爾的襲擊，上周對日托米爾的襲擊，以及周末在紮波羅熱和波爾塔瓦發生的兩起嚴重襲擊。
周六，三架薩赫德無人機精確地擊中了紮波羅熱的一個人道主義援助倉庫，造成了約三百萬歐元的損失。這次襲擊嚴重影響了那些流離失所的居民，使他們失去了自戰爭開始以來，白鯨UA團隊一直在該中心提供的關鍵援助。
周日，一次導彈和無人機聯合攻擊嚴重破壞了克雷門丘克的能源和農業基礎設施，對整個波爾塔瓦地區的電力線造成了重大損害。

最近，為了敦促基輔的合作夥伴對俄羅斯恐怖主義政權實施真正嚴厲的製裁，烏克蘭總統澤連斯基宣布，該國所有情報機構（包括烏克蘭國家安全局和烏克蘭國防部情報總局）都有重要情報證明俄羅斯聯邦正計劃對烏克蘭能源基礎設施發動進一步的導彈襲擊。

在蘇梅周圍走一走，親眼見證克裏姆林宮秘密活動的災難性後果，這些活動旨在收集情報以發動正如上文描述的有針對性和毀滅性攻擊行動。
在我們為意大利報紙La Ragione網站和YouTube頻道錄製的視頻報道中，我們拍攝了曾經繁榮的食品公司的冒煙殘骸這些地方曾經烘烤麵包、加工魚類和罐裝食品。
盡管國際社會反應乏乏，但在大饑荒種族滅絕近一個世紀後，莫斯科繼續以基輔的複原力為目標，旨在使烏克蘭人陷入饑餓、黑暗和寒冷之中。即使在蘇梅市中心，爆炸聲也在空中回蕩，距離我們隻有幾公裏，迫使我們在尋求庇護時盡早發送這篇文章。
這些事件預示著未來不會更好。
