Russia has aggressively relaunched its spy war with the West. Proof of it was in Moscow’s recent publication of a phone call in which two senior German air force officers discussed sending cruise missiles to Ukraine. But that was not the case when this war began two years ago. In 2022, Western agencies stole and publicised Moscow’s plans for Ukraine’s invasion. The West also outsmarted the Russian by expelling close to 600 diplomats since the Ukraine war began. In this episode of Decode, Zakka Jacob explains how Russia has reorganised its spy system to get intel on the West and outsmart them. #russiaukrainewar #russianspy #germanleak #worldnews 0:00 - INTRODUCTION 1:54 - WEST ON THE BACK FOOT BECAUSE OF PUTIN’S SPIES? 3:35 - RUSSIA SPIES CHANGING TACTICS SINCE UKRAINE WAR 4:22 - PROS AND CONS OF FRESHLY RECRUITED PROXIES n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
