A court hearing has unveiled a sophisticated Russian spy operation from the UK aimed at surveilling Ukrainian troops trained at a US airbase in Germany. Three Bulgarian nationals—Katrin Ivanova, Vanya Gaberova, and Tihomir Ivanchev—deny conspiracy charges. The prosecution details the group’s operations, which allegedly included plans to target the Kazakh Embassy and its president’s son, involving tactics like deepfake videos and elaborate surveillance methods. The case highlights significant implications for both Ukrainian defense and international espionage.
