Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion, Ukrainian special services have been working on the motto "I'm coming for you." Ukraine is already preparing new operations like Spiderweb, The Washington Post says.
Today, Ukraine depends more than ever on its intelligence services (Defense Intelligence of Ukraine and Security Service of Ukraine), which have demonstrated the ability to strike deep inside Russia and around the world.
"The SBU and the GUR, Ukraine’s two spy agencies, have been working for more than three years to deliver on the motto of Ukraine’s special forces: "I’m coming for you".They have run operations to take the battle into Russia — and abroad against its forces and partners around the world." WP adds.
The agency adds that Operation Spiderweb was a bold attempt by Kyiv to reset the negotiating table. At the same time, WP's intelligence sources say that other complex operations are already being prepared.
Operation Spiderweb
On June 1, a large-scale special operation took place, in which SBU drones struck four Russian air bases: Belaya, Dyagilevo, Olenya, and Ivanovo. According to the SBU, the attack destroyed or damaged 41 Russian strategic aircraft.
Commenting on the event, US Special Representative for Ukraine and Russia Keith Kellogg said that the operation could lead to an escalation of hostilities. Later, he argued that it could become a driving force for peace in Ukraine.
