New: hackers say they have data on all FBI employees and spouses. I got a sample of 5,000 alleged employees, including name, physical address, phone number, and in some cases spouses. Could be a massive national security and counterintelligence risk 404media.co/we-hacked-the-fb…

German journalist posed as a Putin supporter to expose Kremlin agents Journalist Angelique Geray ran a fake channel for several months under the name “Katya” — a Russia supporter. She posted videos featuring the Russian flag and soon received assignments from people who contacted her. She was asked to photograph sites in Germany, monitor people from the CDU, arms companies and NGOs, as well as collect the personal data of their employees. The recruitment of “one-time agents” often begins with simple tasks for small amounts of money. For example, they may be asked to take a photo, pick up a package or obtain a SIM card. The assignments then become more serious. Communication is mainly conducted through Telegram, and each operative knows only their part of the operation. German politician Jovica Jovitch from the pro-Russian Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance reached out to “Katya’s” channel. He gave advice on developing the channel. For example, the politician suggested making a video of “Katya” dancing on a NATO flag. When asked about links to Russian intelligence services, Jovitch replied that theoretically he knew nothing, but practically he did. He later denied having any ties to Russian intelligence. After Geray revealed her fake identity, unknown individuals threatened to kill her.

I don’t think people realize just how pro-Russia the AfD actually is, so here’s a non-comprehensive list: - The AfD has consistently opposed sanctions against Russia and German military aid to Ukraine. - AfD politicians have blamed the US and NATO for Russia’s invasion, with party leader Tino Chrupalla claiming that the US “provoked Russia.” - In 2022, five AfD politicians planned a trip to Russian-occupied Donetsk and Luhansk. The trip was cancelled after public outrage. - AfD politician Steffen Kotré appeared on Vladimir Solovyov’s Kremlin propaganda show, arguing against German military aid to Ukraine. - AfD politicians participated alongside Sahra Wagenknecht’s movement in “anti-war” protests calling for an end to sanctions, an end to military aid to Ukraine and restored relations with Russia. Leaked documents later revealed that building such an “anti-war coalition” in Germany was one of the Kremlin’s goals. - Russian documents described AfD politician Markus Frohnmaier as an “absolutely controlled MP” and discussed providing him with “material and media support.” - A joint investigation by The Insider and Der Spiegel revealed that AfD parliamentary aide Vladimir Sergienko worked with an FSB officer to try to stop or delay German weapons deliveries to Ukraine. Sergienko also funneled Russian money and instructions to AfD politicians for a lawsuit against the German government over weapons deliveries to Ukraine. - AfD politicians have repeatedly travelled to Russia, including trips to Moscow and Kaliningrad. - Hans-Thomas Tillschneider declared after Russia’s full-scale invasion that “Russia is defending itself!” - Tillschneider has written columns for the Russian newspaper Vedomosti, attended conferences in Moscow, congratulated Putin on his sham 2024 election victory and celebrated Putin’s birthday at the Russian Embassy in Berlin. - Tillschneider also helped shape the AfD’s 2026 Saxony-Anhalt programme, which calls for ending sanctions against Russia, restoring Nord Stream, expanding Russian-language teaching in German schools and reviving student exchanges with Russia. - AfD politician Tim Schramm volunteered to fight for Ukraine against Russia. The AfD’s NRW leadership responded by launching proceedings to expel him from the party. - AfD politician Jörg Dornau co-owns an agricultural company in Belarus that used prisoners, particularly political prisoners, as forced labor. The EU later sanctioned the company over its use of forced labor. - Chechnya-born AfD member Noah Krieger, originally named Murad Dadaev, travelled to Chechnya, attended parliament with Ramzan Kadyrov, met regime figures and took part in Kalashnikov training. Months later, he appeared in Russian-occupied Ukraine alongside Chechen Akhmat fighters, carrying a weapon and declaring: “I am in Ukraine and stand for Russia.”

Putin reportedly fears ending the war without taking all of Donbas could cost him his life. “They will hang me,” he allegedly told allies, as Russia prepares to send up to 400,000 more troops to the front. kyivpost.com/post/83426
