Yusov said, “Yes, there is specific information.
“We will not make it public yet.
“Of course, the enemy does not give up trying in various ways to compensate for the lack of information that it can receive through, in particular, space exploration and other modern means that allow it to receive more information.”
He said that Russia’s intelligence use front companies and agent networks try to purchase imagery for dual-use, who claim it is not for military purposes.
The GUR added, “The enemy has a lot of resources involved in this.
“This requires a serious response from both Ukraine and its partners. Such work is underway.”
