Ukrainian GUR covert intelligence operations in Russia
Overview
Ukrainian military intelligence (GUR) has utilized a secret network of undercover volunteers operating across Russia and Europe to facilitate sabotage and drone strikes against Russian military targets. This decentralized network focuses on tracking strategic assets, including military warehouses, strategic bomber pilots, and high-ranking generals.
Operatives such as ‘Ivan’ and ‘Foma’ have been identified as working for the agency. Foma, operating from exile in Poland, manages a network of approximately three dozen collaborators to provide detailed dossiers containing photographs, personal data, and vehicle information to coordinate strikes on munitions factories. The intelligence provided by these networks has been linked to specific operations, including the assassination of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov in Moscow via an explosive device planted under his vehicle.
In a BBC World Service documentary, Ivan described supporting Ukrainian drone strikes against strategic bombers and ammunition factories located inside Russia. While the GUR has confirmed the involvement of these operatives, the full extent of the network’s activities remains difficult to verify due to high operational security. Additionally, the Prymary, a special unit within the GUR, has intensified operations against Russian electronic and communication infrastructure, targeting drone repeaters, electronic warfare systems, and Starlink inhibitors to degrade Russian battlefield coordination.
