 Ukrainian military intelligence will conduct shock operations inside Russia. A Ukrainian military intelligence officer told the Sunday Times that Ukrainians were carrying out clandestine missions in Russia that weren't being individually approved at the highest levels. The officer, to whom the publication granted anonymity, said operatives were being trained to carry out sabotage, poisonings, assassinations and diversions on Russian soil. He said that those involved in the missions would dress in civilian clothes, carry fake documents and use only their steps to orient themselves. The Sunday Times reporter travelled to a location where the missions were said to be trained. The government is too slow and bureaucratic, the Sunday Times source said, We need to train people fast and get them ready. There are no government-specialized training camps for the kind of operations needed to fight this war. Ukraine is struggling to keep up with the sheer number of Russian soldiers and Russian drone army, which by one estimate outweighs theirs by seven to one. The officer who talked to the Sunday Times acknowledged this, saying he believed that clandestine missions in turn gave Ukraine an edge. We can only compete in surgical techniques, he said. Technology and our entrepreneurial mindset will defeat Russian meat and steel. The officer also explained the optimum conditions for a cross-border mission into Russia such as low cloud that hides the moon and stars. They will dress in civilian clothes, carry fake papers, no phones, use a compass, a map, and count their steps to orient themselves, he said.
