In a Telegram post, the Ukrainian cell of the Base claimed a successful operation to eliminate an enemy agent in Odesa in a car bombing, which was later reported on in local Ukrainian media. This traitor, whose name we cannot yet disclose in the interests of the investigation, served Ukraine, but his heart was sold to the enemy, said the post, which was inferring the border service officer was assisting Russia in the south of the country.

A Russian assassination plot targeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was uncovered after intelligence sources revealed operatives rented apartments close to his office in Kyiv. The alleged Kremlin plan aimed to capture or kill the Ukrainian leader during the early stages of Russia's full-scale invasion, according to reporting by CNN.

A double agent, by contrast, is an intelligence asset who is knowingly and deliberately directed by one service to engage another in espionage. The controlling service uses that agent to feed information (called feed material) -true, false, or mixed-to the adversary. They do so to simultaneously study the adversary's tradecraft, collection priorities, and decision-making. In the Russian system, double agents also serve a bureaucratic function: they generate statistics, "success stories," and operational narratives that demonstrate effectiveness to political overseers and ultimately to Putin himself.
