Zelensky took Zaluzhniy to task, but the general shrugged off his criticism, according to three people familiar with the exchange. Zaluzhniy told Zelensky that the sabotage team, once dispatched, went incommunicado and couldn’t be called off because any contact with them could compromise the operation.

“Oops” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Except for the German federal prosecutors, Dutch officials, former Ukranian commander in chief, and the sabotage team themselves, I suppose you’re right.

Days after the attack, in October 2022, Germany’s foreign secret service received a second tipoff about the Ukrainian plot from the CIA, which again passed on a report by the Dutch military intelligence agency MIVD. It offered a detailed account of the attack, including the type of boat used and the possible route taken by the crew, according to German and Dutch officials.

Inasumuch as you can have a source for a covert operation after the fact.

Gotcher ears on?

Ukranian special ops, acting on their own

Edit: Story

I always wonder if I’m just missing some kind of shift in the language and then six replies later they mention they don’t live in the US and I think “aw crap”.

I’ve been waiting for everyone around me to “understand computers” for forty years.

No luck. They’re just as clueless as they have ever been.

You’d think I’d be less boggled by it now, but nope.

I’ve been on Mastodon for a couple of years and, for me, it’s so boring. Been on Bluesky for about a week. I currently have more followers and am following more than I ever did on Mastodon.

To me, that’s an argument for Mastodon.

Oh man there’s nothing i like better than rating some poetry.

Fuck ruzzia.

And fuck Unilever and Subway too, while we’re at it.

Yep. That’s probably right.

I use one of these guys on the furniture and it works wonders.

Clothes are a different story.

You bet! Voyager is an excellent app with filters in the Settings -> General section.

I’ve blocked trump, vance, and elon and my feed has gotten 1000% better.

If reading is the only driver to voting preference, then yes.

Otherwise, no.

Oh for fuck’s sake

None of those men are as strong as she is.

yes

This is the PTSD of working with customers talking.

Many of us recognize it well.

Perfectly fair point. But in business you’re supposed to read emails to know what you’re supposed to do. But no one does. (too many emails)

Menus have the descriptions of what you want to eat but no one reads them (too vain to wear glasses?)

Forget the creative writing work you’ve been doing. I mean. Y’know. That’s a given.

Sign, Sign, Everywhere a sign, Blocking out the scenery, Breaking my mind

Nooooooo! IT’s because the DeMoCrAts didn’t address the needs of the working pooooooor! nooooooooooo!
