Is new Ukraine support a 'game-changer?' | Your Euro 2024 primer
Friday, 14 June 2024 In a show of unity aimed at President Putin, G7 leaders meeting in Italy this week finally agreed to a deal to use profits from frozen Russian assets to provide around $50bn (£40bn) worth of support to Ukraine.
In a stunning turn of events, President Joe Biden has just signed a groundbreaking new agreement with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This historic deal promises to provide significant financial support to Ukraine from the United States over the next decade.
Russian counterintelligence agents have successfully tricked Ukraine into paying $100,000 as part of a sting operation. Ukrainian intelligence had offered a $1 million bribe to a Russian military unit stationed near Gorlovka, aiming to get them to retreat. The FSB discovered the plan and turned the tables, accepting the bribe and thwarting Ukraine's special operations. The Ukrainian soldiers were promised a European getaway with new identities in exchange for their betrayal. The operation showcases Russia's growing intelligence capabilities.
