As you were sleeping, Ukraine's SBU orchestrated another secret sabotage operation in Russia - here's what it did

Ukraine’s military intelligence secretly attacked a power station in Kaliningrad, Russia. The attack took place early morning on June 14. Ukrainian agents removed coolant from the power transformer and then set the substation on fire, as per reports.

This caused a huge fire, leading to around $5 million in damage. The fire also cut electricity to a nearby Russian military production site. A source from Ukraine’s military intelligence said, “Russia no longer has a safe zone. Everything helping Russia in the war will burn or be destroyed”, according to the report by Kyiv Independent.

Ukraine’s secret missions

Ukraine is doing many secret attacks inside Russia and also in occupied Ukrainian regions. These attacks focus on military areas and important places like oil refineries and railways. These operations are carried out by HUR, SBU and some secret groups.


On May 30, HUR was behind explosions near Desantnaya Bay in Vladivostok, far east Russia. It reportedly hurt Russian soldiers and their equipment. If this is confirmed, the Vladivostok attack would be the furthest Ukraine has ever gone into Russian land, about 6,800 km from Ukraine’s border, as per the Kyiv Independent report.

On June 1, SBU launched something called “Operation Spiderweb”, using drones to attack four major Russian airfields. This drone attack damaged 41 Russian planes, including heavy bombers and even rare A-50 spy planes.
