SBU warns Russia creating large number of fake pages impersonating Ukrainian govt agencies
The State Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has documented active efforts by Russian intelligence agencies to create fake pages for Ukrainian government and security agencies – including the SBU – as well as domestic media outlets, with the aim of conducting information and psychological operations and disinformation campaigns.
The Ukrainian military has revealed that Russia has offered a substantial $20 million reward for information leading to the capture of their drone commander, Robert "Magyar" Brovdi. Brovdi, a native of Hungary who volunteered for the Ukrainian military after Russia's invasion, has been awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine. His drone unit, "Magyar's Birds," has been credited with causing significant casualties for Russia and achieving a 1:3 ratio of Russian to Ukrainian casualties.
Despite the threat of a $20 million bounty, Brovdi and his team have implemented enhanced security measures to evade detection. The Wall Street Journal reported on this story under strict confidentiality protocols, with the reporter using a phone in a Faraday bag to prevent tracking.
