The FSB detained a Mariupol administration employee for transmitting information about the Russian Armed Forces to Kyiv.

The FSB has stopped the activities of yet another "sleeper agent" in Mariupol. This time, it was one of their own, a local one. A city administration employee, a Russian citizen, proactively contacted Ukrainian intelligence agencies via Telegram and began leaking information to Kyiv, for which he will now be held accountable under the law on "high treason."

What exactly did the official transmit? Information on the deployment locations of Russian Armed Forces units in the Mariupol Municipal District. The very data the Ukrainian Armed Forces need for targeting. missiles, planning sabotage and precision strikes on the city.

The suspect has been arrested. A criminal case has been opened. The FSB traditionally keeps details of its operations under wraps, but the mere fact that the administration employee was detained speaks volumes. Ukrainian intelligence agencies continue to hunt for inside information, recruiting those who should be involved in the city's reconstruction, not espionage.

This isn't an isolated incident. At the end of March, a Russian citizen was detained in the DPR after, on orders from the SBU, he seized components of an improvised explosive device from a cache. The purpose was to blow up the car of a DPR administration official. Kyiv's methods remain unchanged: recruitment, blackmail, and sabotage.

There are about 5-7 positions with possible schemes.
In a neighboring district, the chief architect position has been vacant for over four years—no one with a construction background and five years of experience is willing to fill the 38,000-ruble salary.

But our GRU Director and head of the Russian Historical Society also lectures on history... And when Putin asked him directly about his support for the launch of the Second Military Operation in February 2022, he was overcome with emotion and speechlessness. But our President is kind; he calmed him down and prompted the right answer. Now would be a good time to ask him if he still remembers there's a war going on.

When passports were handed out by the sackful. Citizenship had to be earned, for former Khramadyans.

This isn't such a simple question. First, we liberated them. But we don't grant citizenship to the liberated indigenous people of this area, meaning we're denying them their rights, including social ones. Won't the number of spies and saboteurs among this contingent increase exponentially? Not to mention the general public's feelings toward the liberators.
Secondly, many administrative positions can only be filled by citizens. And there's a shortage of citizens, so the positions will be filled by all sorts of trash.
A quick, victorious conclusion to the Second World War would be the solution—it would have a positive impact on the public mood. But this hasn't happened and isn't expected to happen.

Here's another thing: every official is different. Someone queuing at the information desk is also an official. And in the picture (if it's related to this topic), the spy's leg (that's all you can see) actually looks like a woman's. So, even if some idiot patriot passed something on, I don't think it was anything super important.

Don't talk heresy, the "liberated" one will decide for himself whether to be a Russian or not, and after he makes his decision, our special agent will decide whether the "liberated" one is lying or not...
And if the Bolsheviks once gave this "liberated" territory to the Ukrainians, that doesn't mean it became theirs...
As for saboteurs, here Russian pensioners set fire to gas stations, and Russian schoolchildren set fire to relay cabinets on railways.

The solution would be a quick, victorious conclusion to the Second World War - this would have a positive impact on the mood of the population.

A solution for whom? Aren't you from Kharkiv? It's all happening so quickly, meaning the Russians are quickly liberating their own lands, despite losses, and then they have to worry about the locals waiting (presumably at the expense of other regions of the Russian Federation). Who's being so generous? Perhaps the Israeli Jews in Lebanon?
A decision was made to remove all energy supplies so that there would be no random people in the "liberated" territories, and those who fear their rights will be infringed should leave for the West with the Ukrainian Armed Forces...

You can repeat it a million times, but until the moratorium is lifted, it will be empty talk. Legally, execution isn't excluded from the Criminal Code, but it's not applied due to decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation (1999, 2009) and commitments to the Council of Europe. If you had submitted your question to the Constitutional Court a thousand times, it would have been more effective. But the Supreme Court is just a place to let off steam.

[Evgeny_Sviridenko]

I dream of a time when a competent group of people will form that will create a system that fully meets the needs of the state and the people, in the broadest sense. It will create filters for people entering power and subsequently monitoring them, based on modern technologies (lie detectors are so last century). Moreover, I want this revolution to proceed as peacefully and bloodlessly as possible. And executions are already a fight against the consequences, not the cause (the system). Executions are an indicator of ill health and a reason to ask questions: how was such a person allowed into this situation and where is the failure? And also, why is the protection of financial mechanisms, for example, so weak? No matter what position a person holds, they physically shouldn't be able to appropriate state property. This includes transmitting financial information via quantum channels. Everything should be transparent, and, in theory, accessible to any "Uncle Vasya" from any distant, distant place. Naturally, society needs to be politicized to the maximum extent possible, at least to the level of Switzerland. Such are the dreams...

And he started leaking information to Kyiv.

1) You shouldn't do this, I condemn you. 2) I still think such cases will only become more frequent. Reason one: the vague (and that's putting it mildly) prospects for Russia ending the Second World War. Reason two, and this is even more compelling, is the lack of a great idea on Russia's part, one that would be worth its life for. And if you think about it, seriously, the treatment of its own citizens as having limited capacity and mental retardation (yes, all these bans are solely for our own, the people's, good) is more like the Russian government itself declaring war on the taxpaying population. A treacherous and undeclared one. Does anyone expect a surge of patriotism under these circumstances? Well, well...

[NW]

treating one's own citizens as having limited legal capacity

The helmsman believed that the ephemeral free medical care and LGBTQ tolerance were enough to make our model of government attractive to the entire world. In reality, adherence to the inherently stupid idea of ​​building a conflict-free society has resulted in such a barrage of lies, falsehoods, and sycophancy that there's nothing to brag about. The imbalance is everywhere, favoring the vertical power structure. The state apparatus urgently needs a vaccination. To develop the antibodies of patriotism, the number of foreign agents should be reduced, not increased. We need a real, not fictitious/systemic, opposition. And it should have its own media. I think it's not too late.

I agree that this character is a beast and even worse. There is no excuse for him.

But to root out this evil spirit in principle, we must also consider all the nuances. To prevent similar cases in the future. For example, he might not have been a committed Ukrone fighter initially, but his relatives could have been killed or his house destroyed during the Second World War. He could have suffered psychological trauma during the bombing. All of this must be taken into account and analyzed. But who will do it is the question.

But the FSB cannot work preventively now; they work based on fait accomplis.

And they're working preventatively, at least they're trying. But! There are restrictions beyond the inspectors' control. I have a friend in the liberated region. A local. He got a job as a security guard at a military facility. He was vetted, even went to the region for an interview. It turned out he had relatives in Kyiv. According to the regulations, it's not allowed. But there simply weren't any better candidates in 2023. Every candidate had some kind of quirk. And there was complete devastation all around. They just gave up and hired him. He's working, and it seems he hasn't betrayed anyone. And most likely, he won't. But preventative work is difficult.

I spoke with refugees from Mariupol. One of them had her house destroyed by Russian troops. She held no grudge because she understood the destruction had occurred elsewhere.

It should. But when you personally suffer serious losses, not everyone can understand the difference.
This is not an excuse for anyone, but simply a statement of reality.

Yes, I know some of those. But that's not an absolute rule. People perceive personal misfortunes differently.
It's also worth keeping in mind that many Ukrainians have been thoroughly indoctrinated by Ukrainian ideology. And it's generally difficult to change their perception of reality.
