AI brief

Two Russian men, Ivan and Foma, have given rare accounts of operations targeting Russian military assets and personnel for Ukraine's military intelligence (GUR). Ivan claims involvement in drone attacks on strategic bombers and munitions factories inside Russia. Foma, living in exile in Poland, runs a network that surveils high-level Russian officers for potential targeting, though he denies direct participation in attacks. The GUR has confirmed their roles but acknowledges it cannot verify the full scope of their activities. Ukrainian authorities have acknowledged a strategy of coordinated drone attacks inside Russia, while the men say they oppose Putin's regime and aim to speed up its downfall.
