On Thursday, Russia’s FSB security service alleged that Ukrainian intelligence agencies attempted to recruit Russian nationals and gather military intelligence by masquerading as employees of the U.S. non-profit think tank RAND Corporation.
According to the state news agency RIA, “The FSB has obtained information indicating that representatives of the Ukrainian special services are using the guise of the prominent American RAND Corporation to conduct recruitment activities within the Russian Federation and to acquire limited details regarding the Russian Federation’s special military operation in Ukraine.”
RAND is already classified as an “undesirable organization” in Russia. There has been no immediate reply from Ukraine.
