NEW: Following the embarrassing lapses of Unit 29155, the GRU created a new, bespoke assassination and sabotage unit known as Center 795, meant to be "air-gapped" against compromise. Its top operative, Denis Alimov, is now in a jail cell in Colombia awaiting extradition to the U.S. because he used Google Translate to task his Serbian hitman. The FBI had everything in real time. And we've just burned the rest of Putin's brand new black ops squad. theins.press/en/inv/290235
The Angleton expression really completes the picture.
For six months, no one really noticed Culper Research’s report outlining the short-selling firm's case against Nvidia. All that changed this week. 🔗 on.wsj.com/3XlgmJN
Cometh the hour, cometh the CEO.
"Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of health care, at a technology event in Aspen, Colo., in June... Jensen Huang, the leader of Nvidia who is under investigation for an affair with a woman who U.S. intelligence determined is a Chinese spy, also had an extramarital relationship with an executive who reports to him... Kimberly Powell... Both Mr. Huang and Ms. Powell are married to other people." (From the NY Times)

Iowa’s Governor-Elect Rob Sand posed for Italian Vogue in 2004. I’m guessing he campaigned successfully on having the kind of night life too few Iowans have ever experienced.
Do not go gently into that good night, sir. Zoom into the board meeting that ousts you mid-orgy from Pyongyang.
In fact, the GRU chief’s presence is probably the most relevant as the only substantive outcome of these talks was a prisoner swap, and that is Kostyukov’s parish.
No breakthrough in Abu Dhabi, but Jared and Steve are headed to Moscow anyway. Ukraine rejects Trump's plan to rename oblasts so Russia can keep Donetsk and Luhansk. New prisoner swap between Kyiv and Moscow coming. New Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil infrastructure reduce refining capacity by 30%. Denmark commits 640 million euro package to Ukraine, as Russia imposes gas restrictions. U.S. Army officer arrested in UK on suspicion of spying for Russia. Trump and Bibi get into shouting match over Iran. House blocks Hegseth impeachment.
They don't need envoys here, our own envoys will suffice.
⚡️ Russian ambassador to the US has died — he called Crimea Russian and justified the invasion of Ukraine
Alexander Darchiev was more than just a diplomat — he was a staunch defender of Kremlin policies.
“Crimea is Russia, once and for all,” he said in 2014. In March 2022, he also confronted the US ambassador after Biden called Putin a war criminal.
Darchiev was appointed ambassador to Washington in spring 2025. He was 66.
"Tell the GRU I have a European passport and want to work for them to [fuck] the West," Anthony Hogan, a member of the pro-Russian disinformation network in Ireland, told John Mark Dougan.
Before she was blown up in Moscow, Daria Dugina shared her favorite sources with John Mark Dougan. baldvolf.com/
Remember this?
Trump’s efforts to supply the U.S. with Russian diesel have yet to result in any new imports into the country, as several fuel tankers bound for America shifted course following difficulties finding buyers willing to accept the controversial cargoes. on.wsj.com/3XjGxAz
Kushner and Witkoff are about to be tangled up in Congressional oversight hearings for the remainder of Trump's term. Their financials will be spilled on the front page of every international newspaper as they try to fashion some grand bargain with Russia they have neither the intellectual nor diplomatic skills to credibly attempt. Europeans would do well to pat Jared and Steve on the head and give their "blessing" for a process that will go nowhere except into more process.
BREAKING: The U.S. is to seek Putin’s ‘blessing’ for Europe to join future peace talks for Ukraine.

New: The contents of a hacked computer belonging to John Mark Dougin, an American ex-cop living in Russia, offer documentary evidence that he worked with the FSB and GRU to peddle disinformation. He liaised with GRU Unit 29155 the originator of the Ukraine biolabs hoax, and his "moment of triumph came in June 2026, when information from his investigation was endorsed by @TulsiGabbard, who was serving as director of national intelligence in the Trump administration." theins.press/en/inv/299417?_…
Unit 29155 is responsible for the Skripals' poisoning with Novichok, a series of ammunition and weapons depot bombings dating back to 2011, a failed coup in Montenegro, and much else: theins.press/en/politics/270…
Been seeing these claims from Russians all week. And Kostyukov, the GRU director, flew to Israel yesterday. jpost.com/israel-news/articl…
🔥Russians are panicking over Ukraine’s new refinery strike tactics. Drones reportedly switch targets mid-flight, and Trump can no longer simply pull the plug.
The Russian Telegram channel *Дневник Разведчика* (Intelligence Officer’s Diary, 147,800 subscribers) describes a major shift in Ukraine’s long-range drone campaign following the strikes on Kstovo, Samara and Yaroslavl.
Previously, Ukrainian drones were sent toward predetermined targets. If the first drones successfully hit a refinery unit, the rest continued toward the same target.
Now, according to the Russian channel, Ukrainian operators can monitor strikes in real time and redirect incoming drones while they are still in flight.
Once a primary distillation unit is hit, subsequent drones can be redirected toward storage tanks, cracking units, electrical substations or other critical equipment.
Instead of concentrating an entire wave on one target, Ukraine can distribute the damage across multiple parts of the refinery.
The Russians are describing something far more dangerous for their oil industry than simply larger drone attacks: the ability to adapt an entire strike while it is happening.
The channel attributes this capability to Israeli HiSKY SmartLight satellite communications terminals, which it says Ukraine is using as an alternative to Starlink.
It claims the terminals allow two-way communication over Russian territory, making it possible to adjust flight paths, identify air-defence positions and redirect drones around interception zones.
And then comes the most revealing part.
The Russian channel argues that American restrictions on Starlink have backfired spectacularly.
Its conclusion:
"Trump has simply lost his leverage over Kyiv’s long-range strikes."
And:
"Ukraine has slipped off the American leash and found a commercial alternative that the White House cannot switch off with a phone call."
That is coming from a Russian military channel, not Ukrainian propaganda.
Moscow is now discussing a scenario in which Ukraine can strike multiple critical refinery units in a single operation, adapt to Russian air defences in real time and continue its campaign without depending on American-controlled communications.
Putin has been trying to get Trump to restrain Ukraine’s refinery strikes. Now Russian military commentators are warning that even American pressure may no longer be enough.
The irony is extraordinary. Washington reportedly tried to limit Ukraine’s options. The Russians are now complaining that Ukraine has found a way around those limits.
The HiSKY deployment, electronic-warfare resistance and real-time retargeting capabilities are claims made by the Russian channel, not independently established technical facts. The attribution in the draft matters, especially for the claims about Trump’s leverage.
Doing enough blow to alter Colombia’s GDP and inviting people to look up his nose with that camera angle… I actually think America deserved a better decline and fall than this.
